Neuberger Holocaust Education Week

The Toronto Holocaust Museum inspires visitors to think deeply about the tragedies of the Holocaust and make connections between this history, world events, and contemporary Canadian life through its state-of-the-art facility and innovative programs. Core to our mission is to provide year-round, best-in-class Holocaust education. We are proud to announce our annual series of public programs. Building on decades of success with our signature Neuberger Holocaust Education Week (HEW), the Museum will now expand your access to Holocaust education throughout the year.

This fall, join us for a thoughtful array of public programs and commemorations that offer compelling ways to engage with this history and its legacy.

Featuring guided museum tours, keynote presentations, survivor speakers, and film screenings, this year’s Neuberger HEW and our fall calendar of events will offer opportunities to explore contemporary approaches to Holocaust education and remembrance in innovative ways, delving into issues and dialogues that offer new perspectives on this nuanced and essential history.

Keep an eye on our Event Calendar for information on upcoming programs, including HEW 2024. 

Join the Toronto Holocaust Museum to launch Neuberger HEW 2024, featuring author, editor, and journalist, Tobias Buck. In his new book, Final Verdict: The Holocaust on Trial in the 21st Century, Buck explores the historic trial of Bruno Dey, a former SS guard at Stutthof Concentration Camp. In conversation with Sarah Fulford (Editor in Chief, Maclean’s), Tobias will delve into his work and its convergence with his personal family story, including his German grandfather’s complicity and the silence that surrounded it. Explore the weight of 21st century justice in the face of rising antisemitism and uncover what we can learn from Germany’s struggle with its Nazi past. 

Program Admission: $25 

Book Purchase of Final Verdict: $30 

Following the program, Tobias Buck will be signing copies of Final Verdict. Books are available for purchase at online checkout with your program admission or onsite at the event.

Holocaust Education Week was founded in 1982, under the auspices of the Holocaust Remembrance Committee, part of the former Toronto Jewish Congress. Its formation and continuation is in great part due to the hard work of a group of dedicated Holocaust survivors whose passion and commitment to Holocaust education paved the way for its future success.

HEW was one of the first formalized Holocaust education and awareness initiatives in Canada. Now called Neuberger Holocaust Education Week, it is recognized by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) as a best practice in the field and known for its world class programming.
