Our newest online resource, this specially curated digital exhibition showcases the journeys of seven Holocaust survivors coming to Canada after the Holocaust, highlighting themes such as Canadian identity and immigration. Through exploration and discovery, students connect these themes to modern day issues about the ideal of Canada as a multicultural nation and provide insights into how they can become active citizens of this civil society.
Our first-ever online educational resource offers an opportunity for learners to explore the experiences of Canadian Holocaust survivors through thematic testimony clips. The excerpts featured were derived from a Canada-wide project to digitize, preserve and make accessible the testimonies of Holocaust survivors. More than 1200 oral histories are preserved in the Canadian Collection in the USC Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive.
There is so much left to discover about the Holocaust. Explore our online exhibition and resource that uncovers the lesser-known narratives through unique objects and artifacts. The oral history excerpts featured here are curated from over 1200 Holocaust survivor testimonies recorded in Canada. The experiences are diverse and represent just a fraction of Holocaust survivor personal testimonies.
