Toronto Holoc Toronto’s newest museum opened June 9, on the Sherman Campus, in Bathurst Manor, the neighbourhood where many survivors rebuilt their lives after the war.
T he museum is divided into four distinct halls that docu- ment the rise of modern anti- semitism, the Holocaust and its aftermath, as well as the lives of survivors in Canada after the war. Artifacts, often donated by surviv- ors in Toronto, explore the wide range of experiences, including a concentration camp uniform and a Torah rescued during Kris- tallnacht. The forest room is a contemplative space in the midst of the galleries that displays the names of family members who died in the Holocaust.
