Association for Canadian Jewish Studies

We extend a hearty Mazel Tov to our friend, Irwin Cotler who has just been named the first Isaacman Distinguished Visiting Professor in Holocaust and Genocide S...tudies at Gratz College in Pennsylvania. Gratz is the oldest independent and pluralistic college for Jewish studies in North America and we see this appointment as a signal of the growing importance of Holocaust education in combatting antisemitism and other forms of racism, as well as how well respected Professor Kotler is around the world in the field of human rights.

UJA Federation of Greater Toronto TO OPEN TORONTO HOLOCAUST MUSEUM TO IN 2023 Thanks to an extraordinary lead contribution of $12 million from the The Azrieli... Foundation, UJA’s Sarah & Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre is thrilled to announce that the new Toronto Holocaust Museum will open in 2023. This state-of-the-art facility will become Toronto’s leading location for Holocaust education, inspiring visitors to think critically about the Shoah and to make connections between the Holocaust, contemporary antisemitism, world events, and present-day Canadian life. The Azrieli Foundation’s visionary gift is instrumental as the institution moves to its new home in the Sheff Family Building on UJA’s Sherman Campus. Founded by Holocaust survivors over 35 years ago and known as the Sarah and Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre for the past ten years, the Toronto Holocaust Museum will build upon a foundation of excellence, ensuring that Canadian survivors’ experiences are never forgotten. We also want to express our gratitude to the York family for perpetuating their family’s commitment to Holocaust education. We look forward to welcoming the public and students from schools across the GTA to the Toronto Holocaust Museum in 2023.
