The Holocaust Centre, Beth Shalom, in Nottinghamshire has been awarded £500,000 by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The money comes in the form of an endowment grant which the centre must match by raising the equivalent sum over the next four years.
Helen Whitney, CEO of the Holocaust Centre, said she was “thrilled”.
“It is vital that the centre’s work, education programmes, and unique exhibitions grow and flourish, ” she said.
