Tomorrow, we mark Canadian Multiculturalism Day. On this day we celebrate the diversity of the students, educators, and communities who visit the Toronto Holocaust Museum each year.

Throughout the school year, we welcome groups from across the GTA and beyond, representing a wide range of cultures, religions, school boards, and lived experiences. This diversity enriches the learning experience and helps foster meaningful conversations about the Holocaust, human rights, and our shared responsibility to stand against hate.

In the 2025/26 school year, the Museum welcomed more than 12,300of students, from 19 different school boards, with groups travelling from as far as North Bay and even from outside Canada, including New Jersey.

By bringing together students from many different backgrounds, we help ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust continue to resonate across communities and generations.

During the Holocaust, fathers faced impossible choices as they struggled to protect and maintain the structure of their families amid growing persecution. 
 
Many fathers worked to maintain a sense of normalcy for their children, offering comfort and stability as their rights, livelihoods, and communities were stripped away. Some risked their lives to secure food and shelter and protect their children during the direst of times. Others were forced to say goodbye to their families, uncertain if they would ever reunite. 
 
For many survivors, memories of their fathers are marked not only by loss, but by acts of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion.  
 
Listen to Faigie Schmidt Libman, reflect on the special bond she shared with her father – just one of many examples of unwavering commitments and family relationships that were severed by the Holocaust. 
 
This Father’s Day, we remember the fathers whose strength helped sustain their families through some of history’s darkest moments, and whose lives continue to inspire future generations. 
 
Visit the Museum to learn more about the individuals and families whose experiences during the Holocaust remind us of the enduring bonds that connect us across generations.

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time dedicated to honouring the rich history, heritage, diversity, and resilience of First Nations, Inuit, and MĂ©tis peoples. Today, June 21, is National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day where we recognize and celebrate the cultures and contributions of those Indigenous communities.

At this pivotal time for Canadians, we recognize with gratitude the relationships we have built with colleagues, friends, and Indigenous partners whose guidance, knowledge, and generosity continue to strengthen our work in reconciliation, education, remembrance, and building a more inclusive future.

We are thankful to the Elders and Holocaust survivors who have shared their experiences, wisdom, and perspectives, helping to foster deeper understanding across communities. Their voices remind us of the importance of preserving memory, confronting injustice, and standing together against hatred and discrimination in all its forms.

Through these meaningful connections and ongoing dialogue, we are inspired to turn learning into action and reflection into lasting change. We look forward to continuing this journey together, guided by mutual respect, shared responsibility, and a commitment to a more just and compassionate future for all.

June 20 is World Refugee Day.
 
Canada is only 159 years young, and its story continues to be shaped by generations of people who arrived here seeking safety, opportunity, and a chance to build a future. We are grateful to those who came before us and helped cultivate the communities, institutions, and country that we share today.
 
Among them were Holocaust survivors who sought refuge in Canada after the war. Arriving often meant leaving behind familiar languages, communities, and ways of life. Starting over required immense resilience as survivors adapted to new customs, learned English or French, found work, pursued education, and rebuilt a sense of home in an unfamiliar place.
 
Their stories remind us that welcoming refugees is about more than providing safety—it is about creating opportunities for people to rebuild, belong, and thrive. On World Refugee Day, we honour the resilience of Holocaust survivors and all refugees whose contributions continue to shape Canada today.

Since launching last month, Hate Tags has engaged millions of people, promoting critical thinking, media literacy, and responsible online engagement—encouraging users to pause and think more deeply about the hateful content and misinformation they encounter every day online.

Hate Tags has extended learning about the vital history of the Holocaust beyond the Museum’s walls, advancing our mandate of remembrance and education. Grounded in the lessons of the Holocaust—when hate, propaganda, and misinformation contributed to devastating consequences—the campaign brings these lessons into today's digital spaces, reaching audiences where harmful content is increasingly encountered and consumed.

We are grateful for the support of the Government of Canada, whose investment made this innovative project possible and helped bring this important educational initiative to millions of Canadians.

Make Hate Tags a permanent fixture! Join us in turning awareness into action. Sign the petition today and be part of the change.
