Holocaust Education Center, Holocaust museum in Fukuyama, Japan
The Holocaust Education Center is a museum in Fukuyama that houses documents and objects from Auschwitz concentration camp. The collection presents evidence of persecution and helps visitors understand this tragic period of history.
The center opened in 1995 as the first Holocaust memorial institution established in Japan, reflecting a commitment to preserve this history across the globe. Its creation marked an important moment in how Japan engaged with twentieth-century genocide education.
The rose garden on the grounds features blooms named after Anne Frank, creating a space where visitors can pause and reflect on loss. The garden serves as a place where people can think about peace and remembrance in a quiet setting.
Admission is free and the center welcomes visitors Tuesday through Saturday during regular hours. Getting there by train via the Fukuen Line is straightforward, with access from nearby stations.
The center works directly with survivors and their families to gather personal stories and belongings for display. These firsthand accounts connect Japanese students directly to the lived experiences of those who endured the tragedy.
