Toronto Holocaust Museum

Dear friends,

I hope all is well with you.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and death camp. In honour of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Toronto Holocaust Museum has planned a meaningful afternoon of programming on Sunday, January 26 from 1pm to 4pm. The day will include a guided tour reflecting on the history and significance of Auschwitz as well as a thought-provoking talk with award-winning author Kathy Kacer, who will share insights on adapting Holocaust survivor Max Eisen’s best-selling memoir By Chance Alone (2016) for young readers.

Max devoted his time to Holocaust education for decades, speaking about the dangers of hatred and discrimination to promote a more peaceful future. The program also offers an opportunity to further reflect on Max’s story of survival and resilience through a thoughtful installation that encourages deep engagement with the history and its lessons.

Don’t miss this chance to learn, remember, and reflect together.

Please let us know if you have any questions. 

We hope you can join us! 

All the best,

Dara Solomon

Executive Director
