Teachers\u2019 Workshop\u00a0November 23, 2017<\/p>\n

Holocaust Education Month 2017’s Theme was Immigration and Refugees.<\/h4>\n

70 Years since the arrival of 1,123 Holocaust orphans to Canada. The Teachers’ Workshop emphasized the story of the 1,123 Jewish orphans who were brought to Canada after the Holocaust. We first turned our attention to Canada’s policy regarding immigration and refugees during 1933 \u2013 1945. We then looked at the changes toward refugees between 1947 – 1949 and their integration into Canada; the important role of community welcoming them in and then continuing to support them. In particular, to understand the forceful impact of the displacement of people, and to develop empathy and compassion between individuals to educate for a better world.<\/p>\n

Keynote address: Robbie Waisman, one of the 1123 Jewish orphans who were admitted to Canada from 1947 to 1949.<\/p>\n

Special presentations by CBC journalist Judy Trinh, who arrived in Canada as a refugee with the Vietnamese \u201cBoat people\u201d, and Elin Beaumont of the Educational Outreach and Program Coordinator of the Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program at the Azrieli Foundation.<\/p>\n
