Ian Darragh and Paul Adler lead a successful initiative to gather over 1,000 signatures on a petition read in the House of Commons seeking Canadian recognition of the unjust imprisonment of Jewish refuges in Canada during the second World War. This Adath Shalom Congregation Adult Education program will feature a presentation by them about how Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors were treated in those prisons, and the resulting timely lessons about the demonization of refugees and immigrants for political purposes.
The program will occur after Shabbat services; please contact Paul Adler for location information and security arrangements for entry.
