Voices echo across generations, carrying truths we cannot afford to forget.

This January, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) expands its longstanding Holocaust education activities with daily offerings that invite visitors into first‐hand encounters with memory, testimony, the power of human dignity and strength of community.

The CMHR stands firmly against antisemitism and remains committed to educating all visitors about the Holocaust and its enduring lessons for human rights.
Through a combination of innovative technology and meaningful storytelling, these experiences create space for reflection, dialogue, and the kind of understanding that can only come from connecting deeply with those who have lived in history's darkest moments.

Experience an extraordinary encounter with Holocaust survivors through innovative technology. 

In the Museum’s Examining the Holocaust gallery, visitors can have what feels like real‐time conversations with recordings of Holocaust survivors, creating meaningful interactions that will have a lasting impact for generations to come. The CMHR is the first museum in Canada to adapt and publicly implement this experience, which was created by the USC Shoah Foundation.

By embedding Dimensions in Testimony into our human rights education mandate, we transformed this advanced interactive video/technology experience into a powerful tool for dialogue, empathy, and memory, including helping people talk about rising antisemitism today.

Offered at:

• 11:15 a.m. (English)
• 12:15 p.m. (French)

Guided by a Museum employee, follow the journey of a young girl – Hana Brady – whose life was cut short during the Holocaust. The activity combines storytelling with meaningful interaction. This beloved program invites visitors to engage with history through empathy, understanding, and personal connection.

Available throughout Museum hours 

On the Sunday before International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the film Canada, Anti‐Semitism, and the Holocaust will be played in rotation in the Breaking the Silence Theatre.

All experiences take place in the Museum's Examining the Holocaust gallery.

Holocaust education remains a year‐round priority at the CMHR, reflecting our responsibility to preserve survivor testimonies, combat antisemitism in all its forms, and ensure these histories continue to inform how we understand and protect human rights today.
