The National Holocaust Monument

Canada is going to erect The National Holocaust Monument in the National Capitol Region (Ottawa-Gatineau) of Canada. .

Although construction has yet to start on the Monument, as the press release says “it will bring Canadians of all faiths together to remember the millions of innocent men, women and children counted among its victims. The Monument will help ensure the memory of the Holocaust is never lost. The hope is that by teaching current and future generations of Canadians the roots and causes of this atrocity, future acts of genocide will be prevented”.
