In 2005, we commemorated the sixtieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

This presentation examines the Canadian confrontation with the Holocaust in the last year of the war. We follow Canadian soldiers, journalists and war artists and examine what they experienced and communicated.

In the last section, we look at the home front, and try to determine what, if any, impact the discovery of the Holocaust had on Canadian attitudes and policies.

We dedicate this to the memory of the Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in the Second World War, and to the victims of the Holocaust.
