Ursula Flicker Archival Collection

http://www.jhc.org.au/museum/collections/collection.html The Collection includes the Ursula Flicker Archival Collection of thousands of original documents from the Holocaust period, collected by Holocaust survivor, Ursula Flicker, and her dedicated team over a 20-year period. Ursula began volunteering shortly after the Jewish Holocaust Centre opened its doors in 1984 and gradually assumed a leadership role in the Archives Department, given her extensive knowledge of the Holocaust. Her dedication to the task was recognised when she received an Order of Australia Medal for her work at the JHC. The Centre's impressive collection of Holocaust art and sculpture includes works created by adult and child survivors, as well as by descendants of victims and those whose who have used different media to express their emotional, moral and philosophical responses to the Holocaust. At the entrance to the museum is Peter Schipperheyn's "Eternal Flame" and the imposing 6.5 metre (22ft. 6in.) Silicon Bronze sculpture, "Pillars of Witness," by Andrew Rogers, with its 76 panels depicting what is surely the most tragic episode in history.
