We are delighted to welcome you to the 39th year of Holocaust Education Week. As you flip through this year’s guide, you will see that our programs curated around the theme, and Now, appear to have been “torn from the headlines.” With so much social, cultural and political turmoil occurring globally, we find ourselves discussing the relationship between the Holocaust and what is happening around us today.

It is both timely and necessary for HEW to address our current zeitgeist–the rise of global , denial, hate crimes, both online and in our own neighbourhoods, a reckoning with difficult aspects of our Canadian past; and conversely, an examination of how the legacy of the Holocaust has inspired positivity, action and change. Through panels, conversations, films, musical performances, theatre and exhibitions–HEW 2019 offers different ways for existing and new audiences to engage with the narratives of the Holocaust.

HEW 2019 continues to offer first-person testimony in the classroom and in specially designed programs for students across the GTA. Additionally, our professional development workshop for teachers and high school symposium ensure the next generation is meaningfully learning about the Holocaust through best practices, newly designed Neuberger resources, and engagement with survivor testimony and artefact study. This year’s guide is comprehensive, including both the Neuberger curated programs and a thoughtful array of programs organized by dozens of community partners. We hope you will share your enthusiasm for HEW with friends, family, and colleagues; and help the Neuberger expand its reach to the next generation. Thank you to all our survivors, supporters, staff, and volunteers for making HEW possible.

HOLOCAUSTCENTRE.COM 7 Holocaust Education Week is at a crossroads. Faced with the passing of living memory, ongoing local demographic shifts and international surges in antisemitism and intolerance, we must pose a difficult question: 75 years later, why should Canadians learn about the Holocaust?

Holocaust Education Week 2019 examines the Holocaust from a universal perspective through our theme, The Holocaust and Now. Through multidisciplinary programming throughout the GTA from November 3-10, we seek to illuminate the relevance of Holocaust education to all Canadians and their concerns for the 21st century. The Holocaust continues to offer multiple points of entry for learning about the dangers of hatred while finding meaning and working to make a difference in our world. Programs will examine the intersections of the Holocaust with current events, inherited legacies, ongoing suppression of freedoms, and humanity’s will to make the world a better place.

Despite some troubling results from a recent study commissioned by the Azrieli Foundation in partnership with the Claims Conference, 85% of Canadians agree on Holocaust education’s importance. The challenge that lies before us is to maintain its relevance before it fades from memory. Join us this year as we explore why the Holocaust matters NOW. Together, we can continue to build a brighter tomorrow for all.

12 HOLOCAUSTCENTRE.COM RESCUING STORIES WHILE WE CAN

DIALOGUE FOR DESCENDANTS PROGRAM

Most children of survivors are hard pressed to retell their parents’ experiences with the details of places, dates, and facts which escape their grasp. Children of Holocaust survivors often heard or overheard stories of that dark time in history. The tales were spoken in hushed tones in Yiddish, German or Polish and sometimes they were told with words and sometimes with a distant, anguished look. Rarely did their stories have any chronological or spatial order. Rather they floated in a timeless chaotic other-world. Female students in a classroom at Cross Lake Indian Residential School, Cross Lake, Manitoba, February 1940, How can we rescue the stories which may soon Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development Fonds, Library and Archives Canada. pass into oblivion? What can we learn from their history to protect our future? This program, designed specifically for children of Holocaust survivors and their partners, features Peggy Shapiro, Executive Director of StandWithUs Midwest and daughter of Holocaust survivors, addressing the importance of capturing these stories before it is too late.

PANEL

Hate speech online has notably increased over the last few years. Extremists who once operated in whispers and shadows are now harnessing the power of social media to spread their message and organize. While the average person may never formally associate with hate groups or movements, racist, xenophobic, and antisemitic ideas are being normalized online. Recent mass shootings trace back to online communities where killer manifestos and plans were posted and welcomed. Governments and intergovernmental bodies are impelled to respond, but often do not respond quickly enough. Social media platforms such as

How should a liberal democracy like Canada respond to Holocaust denial? What are the reasonable limits of free speech? What major decisions set the limits of denial in Canada? How have other nations responded to denial? 75 years after liberation, Holocaust denial and antisemitism are reviving and evolving while international debates rage over the limits of free speech. The Paradox: Free Speech and Holocaust Denial in Canada explores the regulation of historical memory and reflects on what Austrian philosopher Karl Popper terms the paradox of tolerance: that “unlimited tolerance Images: Neo-Nazis and Ernst Zündel taunt anti-Nazi rally, must lead to the disappearance of tolerance.” Carlton Street, Toronto, 31 May 1981.

HOLOCAUSTCENTRE.COM 27 In loving memory of Bill Glied, z”l, a Holocaust survivor speaker at the Neuberger dedicated to engaging teachers in Holocaust education.

Discovery, enriched learning opportunities, and Innovative teaching strategies are the guiding principles of the Neuberger’s Holocaust Educators’ Study Tour to Austria and Poland. Since the inception of this program in 2005, the Neuberger has provided a meaningful educational experience that addresses the specific curricular needs of teachers while remaining faithful to the core historical concepts that define the Holocaust. The upcoming Study Tour will take place in July 2020.

Teacher participants experience historic sites associated with the Holocaust as well as Jewish heritage and memory. Visits to historic sites serve as a catalyst for building empathy, developing a deeper knowledge about the Holocaust and the Jewish people, and expose teacher participants to the realities of history that are impossible to gain from study alone. A visit to a historical site connected to the Holocaust can be a life-changing event for teacher participants and inspires them to revise and renew their teaching strategies. For additional information, or to donate to the program’s scholarship fund, inquire at [email protected].
