Vanier's 33rd Symposium on the Holocaust and Genocide

This year's symposium explores connections across time, peoples, and places—both in the patterns of genocidal actions of those who have sought to erase them from history but also in the resilience of those who have endured these attempts. Montreal and Canada are home to many groups that have survived genocide including Jewish, Armenian and Ukrainian communities. The Symposium considers their stories while focusing particular attention on the Holocaust and its reverberations over time and across continents. In light of exponentially rising antisemitism across the world, education about the Holocaust and the various intersecting forms of Jew hatred is more critical than ever.
