    The Canadianisation of the Holocaust: Debating Canada‟s National Holocaust Monument jason chalmers Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Religious Studies Department of Classics and Religious Studies Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © jason chalmers, Ottawa, Canada, 2013 ii Abstract Holocaust monuments are often catalysts in the „nationalization‟ of the Holocaust – the process by which Holocaust memory is shaped by its national milieu. Between 2009 and 2011, the Parliament of Canada debated a bill which set out the guidelines for the establishment of a National Holocaust Monument (NHM), which ultimately became a federal Act of Parliament in early 2011. I examine the discourse generated by this bill to understand how the memory of the Holocaust is being integrated into the Canadian identity, and argue that the debate surrounding the NHM has been instrumental in the „Canadianisation‟ of the Holocaust. I summarise my findings by placing them into dialogue with other national memories of the Holocaust, and identify three distinct features of Holocaust memory in Canada: a centrifugal trajectory originating in the Jewish community, a particular-universal tension rooted in multiculturalism, and a multifaceted memory comprising several conflicting – though not competing – narratives. Résumé Monuments de l‟Holocauste sont souvent des catalyseurs de la «nationalisation» de l'Holocauste – le processus par lequel mémoire de l'Holocauste est formé par son milieu national. Entre 2009 et 2011, le Parlement du Canada a débattre un projet de loi qui crée les lignes directrices pour la mise en place d'un Monument national de l'Holocauste (MNH), qui est finalement devenu une loi fédérale du Parlement au début de 2011.

As Leader of the Liberal Party, I am tremendously proud to see so many Liberal Women in attendance, and am grateful for the enthusiasm and ability you will bring to this event. Indeed, I am proud to say that we have accomplished much of what we have set out to do, and our progress has been more than impressive. In fact, we have asserted our country’s role on the international stage, increased transparency and accountability, signed a historic Health Accord with the provinces and presented a clear picture of the Canada we envision for the future. One can measure our Party’s success by the devotion of individuals, such as yourselves, and we are very thankful to have such a wonderful group of dedicated women working for the betterment of our country. You can all take great pride in having upheld our Party’s principles, while contributing to the advancement of the political initiatives on behalf of all women in Canada. I look forward to joining you and discussing our objectives while renewing several ties of friendship with many members and organizers present. Please accept my warmest regards and best wishes for a most productive and exciting Convention.

It examines this conflict in the context of long-term processes of capitalist growth, Neoliberal Extractivist development, settler colonial expansion, and transnational economic integration. It explains how both the project itself and the political response to it emerged from and helped constitute a series of interrelated national and global economic, political, and ecological crises. In doing so, it identifies extractivist development in Canada as an extension of the broader Neoliberal class project.
