Canada Responds to the Holocaust, 1944-45 examines the contact between Canadians in Europe and survivors of the Holocaust. Following the Canadian military in Europe after D-Day, the exhibit includes reports of eyewitnesses who struggled to express what they saw, including contact with survivors and evidence of the Nazi genocide. This original VHEC exhibit, based on research by Professor Richard Menkis (UBC) and Ronnie Tessler, captures the challenges of the time, and the varied voices of the men and women desperately struggling to find responses to those challenges.
