Mission
Considering the complexity and historical neglect of the Jewish presence in this territory, as well as the contemporary history of Israel and the diaspora, the Jewish Cultural Centre tries to encourage visitors to re-think history and try to understand it better. Its educational mission presents a multitude of facets related to the Holocaust and its profound effects on society, with a belief that examining the Holocaust will help people reflect on the uses and abuses of power, as well as the roles and responsibilities of individuals, organizations and nations, as they confront violations of human rights.
Programme
Jewish Cultural Centre has a programme designed in six sections: Library, Museum, the Festival of Tolerance, a European Day of Jewish Culture, a Holocaust Remembrance Day and public lighting of Hanukkah candles.
Starting in 2015, the annual Festival of Tolerance features a dynamic mix of international films, art exhibitions, lectures, roundtables and youth education. Another annual event is the European Day of Jewish Culture, Europe-wide programme supporting the appreciation of Jewish culture organized by The European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage. Since 2013, the event is organised in Ljubljana: its topics ranged from Jewish Heritage and Nature in 2013 to Jewish Languages in 2016. Since 2013, the Jewish Cultural Centre has hosted also the street side public lighting of Hanukkah candles.
Since 2014, the Jewish Cultural Centre hosts also Holocaust Remembrance Day, an international memorial day on January 27, commemorating the victims of the Holocaust, the genocide that resulted in the death of an estimated 6 million Jews, 1 million Roma, 250.000 mentally and physically disabled people, and 9.000 homosexual men by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. Memorializing Slovenian Holocaust victims, Jewish Cultural Centre reads aloud all known names (526).
