These workshops enable participants to explore the experiences of Holocaust survivors and to dive deep into specific themes related to the Holocaust (antisemitism, resistance, Canada’s role, genocide)
10 to 60 participants – Available virtually and in person.
KEY THEMES : INTERGENERATIONAL TESTIMONIES, IDENTITY, HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY ANTISEMITISM
In this workshop, through the voices of Holocaust survivors and their descendants, participants will explore Jewish identities in order to deconstruct the stereotypes and generalizations associated with them. They will discover the various historical forms of antisemitism to better understand it. Finally, they will learn to recognize antisemitic rhetoric from the Holocaust to the present day.
10-35 participants (one class)
KEY THEMES: HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY ANTISEMITISM
This workshop teaches participants to recognize different forms of centuries-old antisemitism that still manifest today.
Through the analysis of primary sources (documents and testimony clips), participants will discover how antisemitism has evolved since the Middle Ages. They will understand how a long history of anti-Jewish hate culminated in Nazi antisemitism. In a post-WWII context, they will learn about antisemitism in Canada today, and how ancient forms of this hate feed its contemporary manifestations.
