Africa's first Holocaust centre faces crisis of credibility over Gaza silence

Africa's first Holocaust centre, located in Cape Town, is facing significant criticism from activists and human rights advocates for its failure to condemn Israel's war in Gaza. Critics, including genocide scholars and members of South African Jews For a Free Palestine, accuse the centre of complicity and "genocidal denialism" by remaining silent. The centre has reportedly refused to acknowledge that a genocide is taking place, despite the high number of Palestinian casualties. Activists state their attempts at dialogue and collaboration on exhibitions have been rebuffed by the centre's leadership, which is waiting for a final judgment from an international tribunal.
