COLLECTIONS OF CANADIAN HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS
Survivors' Stories
The following testimonies are part of a project to digitize, preserve, and share the testimonies of Holocaust survivors across Canada.
This project was made possible through the financial support of the Government of Canada, the Azrieli Foundation, the Asper Foundation, Power Corporation, the Paula Nussbaum Family, and Janette and Michael Diamond.
Thanks to funding from the Government of Canada and Caisse d’économie solidaire Desjardins, testimonies from descendants of Holocaust survivors have also been recorded and are available online here.
