Looking back on our first year at the Toronto Holocaust Museum
Students explore the Toronto Holocaust Museum.
through traditions and culture while also exploring the Holocaust through thematic lenses with community partners and experts.
Since opening a year ago, the Toronto Holocaust Museum (THM) has become an essential space for dialogue and reflection, fostering understanding and remembrance during these challenging times. The Museum is proud to be a place where people of all backgrounds, from across Toronto reflect on this difficult past, how it contributes to our present, and informs our collective future. At the core of the museum experience are the voices of Holocaust survivors sharing their stories. Their unique insight provides visitors with a view into individual experiences, deep trauma, and admirable resilience. now more than ever, it is important to visit the museum anD learn from the experiences of holocaust survivors. Over the past year we have welcomed nearly 50,000 visitors to the Museum, including thousands of students. We hope that when people visit the museum, they find a way to see themselves reflected in this history and connect with its legacy as Canadians who each play a role in protecting and promoting civil society. More than ever, education is needed to promote understanding and empathy.
It was an amazing, inspiring, anD honouring experience to view the holocaust through the eyes of those affecteD, but also by following them after the holocaust anD learning about how canaDa playeD a role in their postwar survival.
During a perioD of unpreceDenteD
antisemitism, the toronto holocaust museum stanDs as a beacon for learning, civil Discourse, anD reflection. The legacy of the Holocaust and its vital lessons are in each of our hands. While we persevere through this challenging time, it is incumbent on all of us to examine and remember our shared past to consider our resilience, strength, and commitment to a Jewish future.

Throughout the year, the THM has trained hundreds of educators providing them with tools and resources for foundational teaching, extending the learning into the classroom. Through our dynamic public programs, we have explored the beauty and depth of Jewish life before, during, and after the Holocaust. We have brought generations together to learn from a shared past
We look forward to welcoming you to the THM.
