Join us at the Queensland Holocaust Museum on Sunday 14 June for a special descendant talk with Rochy Miller.

Drawing on family memories, personal reflection and years of research, Rochy will share the story of her mother, a Holocaust survivor whose life was shaped by both extraordinary hardship and remarkable resilience.

This moving presentation explores not only survival during the Holocaust, but also the lasting impact of trauma, identity and memory across generations. As Rochy reminds us, being a survivor was never the whole story.

Copies of Rochy’s book will be available for purchase and signing following the talk.

Date: Sunday 14 June 2026
Time: 1 pm

Bookings are now open:

As part of National Volunteer Week, we proudly recognise the dedicated volunteers who help bring the Queensland Holocaust Museum to life.

From welcoming visitors and guiding tours to supporting education programmes and preserving survivor stories, our volunteers play an essential role in ensuring the lessons of the Holocaust continue to be shared with future generations.

Their time, compassion and commitment help create a meaningful space for remembrance, learning and reflection. We are deeply grateful for everything they contribute to our Museum and community.

Thank you to all of our volunteers.

1.5 million children were murdered during the Holocaust.
Each number represents a life cut short, a family shattered and a future that never had the chance to unfold. Behind the scale of this loss are individual stories of childhoods interrupted by persecution, violence and hatred.
At the Queensland Holocaust Museum, we remember these children and honour their memory by continuing to share their stories. Through education and remembrance, we work to ensure that such tragedies are never repeated.

This object appears ordinary – a bankbook used to record transactions. Yet, it tells a far more complex story.

When Eva Klug arrived at the Theresienstadt Ghetto in March 1945, she was given this bankbook along with 50 Theresienstadt crowns – a currency that had no real value. These items were part of a N**i propaganda effort to present the ghetto as a functioning, self-governing community to the outside world, while concealing the reality of overcrowding, suffering and death.

Inside the camp, Eva endured forced labour and humiliation. Despite this, in May 1945, at just 19 years old, she demonstrated extraordinary courage by helping to rescue over 200 sick survivors following liberation.

After the war, Eva rebuilt her life. She migrated to Australia in 1948, settled in Brisbane and went on to raise a family, creating a future shaped not by persecution but by resilience and hope.

Through objects like this bankbook, we are reminded that history is not only told through events, but through the personal stories of those who lived through them.
