Electoral district of Caulfield
Electoral district of Caulfield

The electoral district of Caulfield is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. The electorate is surrounded by the other electoral districts of Prahran, Albert Park, Malvern, Oakleigh, Bentleigh and Brighton. It covers the metropolitan suburbs of Caulfield, Caulfield North, Caulfield South, Caulfield East, Elsternwick, Gardenvale, Ripponlea and Balaclava and parts of St Kilda East, St Kilda, Glen Huntly and Ormond within South-East Melbourne. Approximately 45,222 people reside in the electorate which has been contested at each state election in Victoria since 1927. The longest serving member is Ted Tanner, who held the seat for a period of 17 years, between 1979 and 1996. The seat lies in the inner south-east metropolitan Melbourne and was once safe for the Liberal Party. However, a changing demographic and on-going electoral boundary changes have made the electorate increasingly marginal over the past decade. In the 2018 Victorian state election, the seat of Caulfield became the most marginal seat in Victoria with a 205-vote difference between the Labor Party and the Liberal party on a two party preferred basis. Recent redistributions have meant the current margin before the 2022 Victorian State Election is almost 0.001% towards the Liberal Party. The seat has been held by the Liberal Party for the majority of the time since its creation in 1927, the party has been held by the Electoral Reform Party and multiple independents. The Labor Party has never held the seat. David Southwick is the current member of parliament for Caulfield, who is also the Deputy Leader for the Victorian Liberal Party.

Melbourne Holocaust Museum
Melbourne Holocaust Museum

The Melbourne Holocaust Museum (MHM) (formerly known as the Jewish Holocaust Centre) was founded in Elsternwick, Melbourne, Australia, in 1984 by Holocaust survivors. It is currently Australia’s largest institution dedicated to Holocaust education, research & remembrance. Its mission is to commemorate the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis between 1933 and 1945. The museum was founded without significant public or private funds and thus has always had to rely on support from Holocaust survivors, their relatives, volunteers and philanthropists. It is thanks to the unique contribution of Melbourne's Holocaust survivors that the JHC has become a vibrant institution. The museum contains a specialist Holocaust library, a collection of over 1300 survivor video testimonials as well as thousands of original documents, photos, artworks and objects from the Holocaust period. Miriam Fink was a member of the centre's original organising committee and together with her husband Leo, she established the Leo and Mina Fink Fund, which enabled the purchase of the Centre's building.In 2019, the museum began a major redevelopment project with Kerstin Thompson Architects and McCorkell Constructions, due to reopen in late 2022. In 2022, ahead of their anticipated reopening, they also updated their name to the Melbourne Holocaust Museum with a fresh logo. The purpose of the MHM is to fight racism and to encourage harmony within the community. It attempts to reach these goals by providing information about the Holocaust through its permanent exhibition and periodic temporary exhibitions. The main focus lies on the younger generation, and over 21,000 students visit the museum every year and participate in a powerful education program. In 2011 the museum was the recipient of the MAGNA Best Small Museum award by Museums Australia, following a redesign of the permanent exhibition. Apart from guided tours through the museum, which are often led by Holocaust survivors, the MHM offers adult education programs, teacher training and also hosts lectures which are open to the public. Furthermore, the MHM provides assistance for Holocaust Survivors in cooperation with JewishCare, a Jewish welfare organization. Since 2008 Austrian volunteers from the Austrian Holocaust Memorial Service are able to work for 10–12 months in the MHM alternatively to compulsory military service or civilian service in Austria. Their work includes, among other things, the translation of documents, the preparation of exhibitions, working in the library and cataloguing of photographs.
