Testimonials

“When we hear stories of survivors, we are reminded that the Holocaust was a true horror. We are reminded of the six million who were sent to the death camps simply because they were Jewish. It is our solemn duty as politicians, as leaders, as human beings to stand united with one voice and to say without equivocation that anti-Semitic hatred has no place in Canada or anywhere else. We have to loudly declare that hatred will not be tolerated in our communities, in our places of worship or on our campuses.”

The Right Honourable Justin TrudeauPrime Minister of Canada

“I want to recognize the tremendous courage of the honourees, and to thank them for their strength in sharing their stories as survivors of the Holocaust and for giving a voice to those who perished in this unparalleled human tragedy. I would also like to acknowledge, with gratitude, the vital role they are playing in raising awareness of the need to continue to take a strong stand against all forms of hatred, bigotry and persecution.”

Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario2019

“These stories of surviving the Holocaust demonstrate that hope and love is a light that shines even in the dark. And they implore us to remain vigilant in our rejection of hate, discrimination and injustice. We will never forget these horrific atrocities as we continue to build a fair and just society for all.,”

“I would not have been able to develop the programs that I have delivered to students and communities, nor would I have been able to have helped our school division implement an annual Holocaust Symposium for grade 11 students had it not been for the important training opportunities provided by the Canadian Society for Yad Vashem.”
Curriculum Coach, Horizon School Division

Larry MikulcikHumboldt, Saskatchewan

“The CSYV memorial site at Earl Bales Park stands here as a reminder and hopefully will inspire future generations to gather and remember. As your eyes scrutinize the site, they will find familiar places, familiar names etched into the metal. It will take them on a journey into the past. They will think of the people we lost, their deeds and their achievements. When we light the torch on the top of the monument, we will think of the flame as the flame of hope, the flame of life, but most of all the flame of remembrance….Remember Us- is all the victims asked for.”

Gerda FriebergHolocaust Survivor and one of the founders of CSYV

“Over the past decade the Canadian Society for Yad Vashem has been selecting educators to participate in the Yad Vashem Summer International Seminar. These educators are middle school, high school and university lecturers. This very intensive 19-day seminar is a challenging educational experience. The Canadian educators have been outstanding in their passion, dedication and determination to take back the academic and pedagogical tools that we provide for them, to their students and classrooms, from all over Canada. This is one of the most important educational endeavors that I run in my department.”
