ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018REMARKS FROM OUR PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Daniel RabinowiczPresident

Alice HerscovitchExecutive Director

The 2017-2018 year has been rich in completion of projects and the launching of initiatives. We

launched a new online exhibit, funded by the Virtual Museum of Canada, called Building New Lives. It speaks to the challenges faced by Jews fleeing Europe who tried to find safe haven in Canada, and the eventual immigration and integration of survivor refugees across the country. We embarked on a new pan-Canadian educational project, funded by Canadian Heritage, which adapts our pedagogical tools to the curricula of four provinces, assures accompaniment of our traveling exhibits and provides teacher training in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia.

The Museum hosted several cutting edge events related to contemporary human rights, including a

presentation by Bob Rae, Canada’s Special Envoy to Myanmar, regarding the plight of the Rohingya, and another about the rise of the far right, in Europe and here in Québec, with the Centre for the Prevention of Radicalization. In November, the final theme of our traveling and online exhibit, United Against Genocide was launched. It speaks to prevention in areas of the world currently facing pre-genocidal conditions. A pedagogical tool has been created to accompany the exhibit, which promotes a both conceptual and pragmatic understanding of genocide and its preventable nature.

We are the only Holocaust organisation in Canada to have been involved in several meetings to

reflect on how to further the educational aspects of the National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa, and provided several photos from the Museum’s archives. Our commemorations of the Holocaust, and particularly Yom Hashoah, are attracting more participants than ever.

The Montreal Holocaust Museum has again expanded its reach. Over 18,220 visitors came to view our

permanent exhibition, a new record. Traveling exhibits reached 22,796 visitors across Canada. Our capacity to accommodate school groups was stretched by the 179 different schools visiting, from Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, New York state and Vermont, and even Brazil! Our collection of historical artefacts and documents grew to almost 13,000 and donations continue to come from across the country. Our teacher training has been attracting educators from across Canada. Our partnerships are multiple, and national and international in scope, and include universities and the Ministère de l’Éducation. As we move forward, reaching new and more diverse audiences, it is particularly clear that Holocaust fatigue is not a relevant concept in our work.

As we look forward to the 2018-2019 year, we are pleased to announce that the feasibility study on the

expansion and move of the Montreal Holocaust Museum to a downtown location concluded that this would be not only feasible, but also have considerable impact. The study determined that with this expansion and relocation, on-site visitorship would grow to 55,000 visitors per year. We have grown considerably in the last 15 years, in visitorship, programs and audience. The Museum is not currently adapted to the needs of our collection, nor can it accommodate temporary exhibits. Now more than ever, we have a responsibility to bring Holocaust history and its links to contemporary issues to more Montrealers, Quebecers and Canadians in the centre of the city.

We are very excited to announce that the Azrieli Foundation has pledged to be the lead

donor for this exciting and promising move. With other donors and the support of governments, we will be able to make this dream a reality.

THE MUSEUM AND ITS COLLECTION A COLLECTION OF 12,980 OBJECTS

As the words of one of our visitors poignantly point out, the aim of our permanent exhibition is to retrace the life of Jewish communities before, during and after the Holocaust and at the same time, raise public awareness of and generate a contemporary reflection on genocide, antisemitism, racism, hatred, and indifference. Thanks to nearly 400 objects and documents presented, as well as the testimony of some 30 Holocaust survivors who made Montreal their home, visitors experience a touching and human perspective on this history.

Once again this year the attendance of the permanent exhibition is record-breaking with 18,227 visitors. This represents an increase of 11% over 2016-2017. 4,798 people took a

guided tour in English or French, given by one of our volunteer guides. Another 1,728 visitors used the guided tour application on our iPad tablets while 1,230 people downloaded the application onto their personal devices (tablets, smartphones, etc...).

School visitors still represent a significant segment of our audience with 8,845 students from 179 schools. 59.3% of the students were from the Greater Montreal area, 22.5% from other regions of Québec, 11.8% from Ontario and 6.2% from the rest of Canada, the United States and abroad.

New Acquisitions

During 2017-2018, 570 new donations of documents, photographs as well as 3D objects were made to the Museum. The collection now boasts 12,980 artifacts. Thanks to the work of a team of students (supported by the Young Canada Works program) and volunteers, 648 new artifacts have been digitized, cataloged in our database and, in many cases, documented.

“This was a very touching experience. The lives that were lost will always remain in our minds. Beautiful way to consider the chance

we have in the 21st century, in a country where segregation barely exists. Your presentation

opened our minds to another dimension. Thank you for this beautiful opportunity to eradicate

the ignorance of this world!” (Excerpt from visitors book, 2017)

Museum Loans

Loans of objects from this unique Canadian collection increased by 62% in 2017-2018, and the quality of the projects and venues in which these artifacts were shown was exceptional. 47 objects, and over 230 digitized photograph and texts from our collection, were presented in exhibitions at Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg, the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax, the Odyssée des bâtisseurs in Saguenay, the McCord-Stewart Museum in Montreal, the Centro de Exposiciones Arte Canal for the Auschwitz exhibit in Madrid and the City of Herford in Germany.

Exhibitions

This year we have created, launched and toured a number of traveling and virtual exhibits as a means of reaching vast new audiences.

The traveling and virtual exhibition Together Against Genocide: Understand, Question, Prevent saw the addition of a final section, dedicated to prevention. This section speaks to crimes of mass atrocity at the present time. It was launched with great success in November 2017. The exhibition is the result of a five-year collaboration with the Khemara Center, the Armenian National Committee of Quebec and Page-Rwanda and was realized thanks to

the support of the Foundation Alex and Ruth Dworkin.

During its tour, the traveling version was presented at the Mount Royal University Library in Calgary and the Oyssée des bâtisseurs in Alma, reaching more than 8,550 visitors.

The exhibition, “And in 1948 I came to Canada” - The Holocaust in Six Dates, initiated in 2016-2017, continued its tour with successful stops in Sept-îles, Quebec and Prince George, British Columbia. It attracted 13,660 visitors. Educational workshops, led by a member of the Museum’s Education team, were offered at several schools in Prince George.

A new virtual exhibition entitled Building New Lives was launched in March 2018 thanks to the support of the Virtual Museum of Canada Investment Program.

ARTEFACT DONATIONS570 ARTEFACT DONATIONS IN 2017-2018

1. Photograph. Golda Kazimirowsky, the donor’s mother, and other survivors, participating in a sewing class. This photograph was taken around 1947 during a class offered in the Linz Displaced Persons camp in Austria. Donated by Rita Schaffer. 2. First Com-munion Certificate. During the war, Eva Kuper was hidden in a convent, where she remained until liberation. After the war, she was still a practicing catholic. This certificate indicates that she had her first communion in 1948. It is only on the boat bringing her to Canada that Eva’s father informed her that she was Jewish. Donated by Eva Kuper. 3. “Yellow Star” Identification Badge. One of the badges the Ségal family was forced to purchase, when wearing the yellow star became obligatory for Jews living in Belgium at the end of May 1942. Mania, the donor’s mother, had prepared the fabric squares to be sewn onto their clothing when it was decided they would go into hiding. Consequently, this star was never worn. Donated by André Ségal. 4. Drawing. Thomas Königsthal sketched this illustration of the forced labour he was assigned, in the Ludwikowka camp in 1944. The drawing shows the violence the prisoners were subject to in the camp, highlighted by the words which accompany the drawing: “Are you crumbling? Can you no longer carry the log?” Donated by Thomas Königsthal Jr.

5. Travel Trunk. This travel trunk was used by the Seaton family when they left Germany in 1939. The Seatons decided to leave the country after their business was confiscated by the Nazis. Thanks to an acquaintance, the family was able to immigrate to England before the start of the War. Donated by Emilie Seaton. 6. Postcard. This postcard was inscribed by Mor Stern as he was being deported from Papa, in Hungary. In hopes that it would reach his daughter, he threw it from the train on which he was boarded. Miraculously, the card managed to reach her. Donated by Catherine Faludi. 7. Book. This book came from the renowned Joachimsthal bookstore active in Amsterdam since the 19th century. The family business was taken over by the Joa-chimsthal brothers, Abraham and Joachim, before the beginning of World War II.

Published on August 9, 1940, this describes the new measures that had to be followed by Jews living in the Netherlands. The penalty for non-compliance was deportation to the Mauthausen concentration camp. Donated by Mario Polèse.

EDUCATIONBEYOND THE WALLS OF THE MONTREAL HOLOCAUST MUSEUM

Once again, the federal government recognized the Museum's expertise by virtue of a grant from Canadian Heritage, funding our pan-Canadian educational expansion project, Beyond the Walls of the Montreal Holocaust Museum. In collaboration with a number of provincial partners, each recognized as an expert in their community, we have begun to adapt our educational activities for the curricula of four Canadian provinces: Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia.Educational ResourcesIn order to meet the ever-increasing demand for activities for school groups, and the interest in personal stories at the Museum, we have developed four new interactive educational workshops that have already become quite popular. Students explore the story of a Holocaust survivor through watching video testimony, handling artifacts and analysing primary sources.In 2017, these workshops were offered, for the first time, to 120 French immersion students in Prince George, British Columbia. We also made a presentation to accompany the exhibit, The Holocaust in Six Dates, to an audience of over 100 people. 175 Calgary students also developed their knowledge of Holocaust history and critical thinking by participating in similar workshops. Educational tools for classroom use remain very popular. More than 2,300 students studied Hana Brady's story and learned through reproductions of her suitcase as well as photos and drawings that belonged to her.In an effort to increase the most relevance of our

educational resources, we conducted a survey of 100 teachers on their use of our tools. This study confirmed recognition of our leadership in Holocaust education and the strong interest in our teaching resources, but also the potential to reach more teachers. Consequently, we produced and distributed two brochures to promote the

ensemble of our some 20 our tools and materials to primary and secondary school teachers.Teacher TrainingThis year, the Museum's education team participated in half a dozen teacher association conventions across Quebec. We have trained more than 80 teachers, providing them with multiple educational tips, resources and strategies enabling them to respectfully and effectively teach Holocaust history and its links to human rights issues.The Museum also organized a seminar on Holocaust Education and Human Rights on October 2nd for about 30 teachers spent the day at the Museum and left with greater confidence to teach sensitive topics.Much of the spring was spent planning a three-day teachers’ symposium, for teachers from across Canada, slated for June 27-29th.

"Significant help to prepare relevant classroom activities. Thank you!"

EVENTS AND COMMUNICATIONS46 EVENTS ATTENDED BY OVER 6,400 PEOPLE

A year of consolidation of our achievements.The new seasonal programming, developed around themes and key dates throughout the year, was extremely successful in terms of attracting audiences and generating public awareness. In 2017-2018, the Museum organised or partnered in 46 events, attended by more than 6,400 people!

Among the highlights were:• Six events organised in partnership with the Jewish Public Library, including several film screenings and, in collaboration with the YM-YWHA, the launch of Georges Reinitz's memoirs that brought together 340 people on September 13th.• The commemoration of the Roma genocide during the Second World War is now an annual event. On August 2nd, 65 people joined Paul Herczeg, a Holocaust survivor and witness to the Roma genocide, who shared this little-known and tragic history with the general public.• In addition to Montreal Museums Day, four open houses were organised. A total of 1,240 people took advantage of these opportunities to visit the Museum for free and to listen to survivors' testimonies.• On International Holocaust Remembrance Day we offered a creative writing workshop with popular children's author Monique Polak.

As their touching texts attest, the 44 young people who participated will never forget meeting Elie Dawang, Leon Celemenski, Daisy Gross and Ted Bolgar! • The virtual exhibition Building New Lives was launched in March. 45 people attended the opening while 1,590 people visited it online during its first weeks.

Our online efforts pay off!After the launch of our new website, we have engaged in interactive advertising and internet marketing. We have invested in search engine optimisation and improved our ranking on Google and other platforms, and in searches to reach a broader visitor potential. We launched advertising initiatives to raise our profile on the Web, to increase download rates for our applications, and bring new viewers to the virtual tours of our collections. These strategies are succeeding. We have expanded the number of our fans and followers on our social media accounts, increased the number of visitors to our website and added to the number of subscribers to our newsletters.

A rich annual cultural programming with a growing audience!

Highlights of the Museum's media coverageIn total, the Museum was featured in the media 72 times between April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018! To list only a few; on April 11th an extended interview with Eva Kuper, one of our survivor volunteers, entitled “Surviving the Holocaust and Bearing Witness” appeared on the front page of the Montreal Gazette. La Presse published an article on August 2nd concerning the massacre of the Roma in Auschwitz that included interviews with Montreal Holocaust Museum staff. On August 17th, Le Devoir published an article on the Museum and on

January 28th, CBC posted an article on the Museum’s activities to honour International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Both Global and CTV covered our creative workshop for young writers, and the Canadian Jewish News covered the Museum’s stance on Bill 62.

COMMEMORATIONREMEMBERING AND HONOURING THE VICTIMS

Commemoration is an integral part of the mission of the Montreal Holocaust Museum. Through community-wide commemorations we honor the victims and the survivors and encourage all Montrealers to work to prevent hatred, racism and ultimately, genocide. They are a means of transmission of memory from one generation to the next.

At the Kristallnacht commemoration, held at the Gelber Centre, Irwin Cotler, former Member of Parliament and founder and chair of the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, emphasized the dangers of forgetting the lessons of remembrance and of silence in the face of evil. A short testimony video from our Oral History collection, featured survivor and Kristallnacht witness, Elfreda Fuchs. One of Montreal’s last Kristallnacht witnesses, Leo Dortort, and his son lit a memorial candle.

The Yom Hashoah commemoration in 2018 was attended by 1,250 Montrealers and many dignitaries including Quebec premier Philippe Couillard. Through its theme, I Want You to Remember… A Childhood Lost, the commemoration highlighted the lives of children during the Holocaust. Six survivor candle lighters shared an experience from their childhood through short video testimonies. All elements spoke to the memory of the six million victims of the Holocaust.

At the 39th annual Christian Commemoration of the Shoah of the Christian-Jewish Dialogue

of Montreal, survivor Georgette Brinberg, who has been talking to school groups on behalf of our Museum for seven years, shared her experiences as a hidden child in France during the war. The Museum also participated in the national and the Montreal City Hall Yom Hashoah commemorations and helped organized the Zikaron BaSalon initiative. Twelve families opened up their homes to friends and family to commemorate Yom Hashoah in a more intimate way, welcoming a Holocaust survivor and listening to his or her story.

As we strive to assure that memory is transferred to future generations, we have relaunched the Bar and Bat Mitzvah of Remembrance program, twinning a child celebrating this important milestone with either a child who was murdered during the Holocaust, or a survivor who has shared his or her story. This is truly a learning experience about Jewish history and communities before and during the Holocaust. Several synagogues will collaborate with the Museum on this program in fall 2018, among them Temple Emanuel, Shaar Hashomayim and the Beth-El synagogue.

ORAL HISTORY12 NEW INTERVIEWS WERE FILMED THIS YEAR

Survivor TestimonyA small team of 17 Holocaust survivors, most of whom were children during the Shoah, continue to speak on behalf of the Museum and educate people. Audiences of all ages valued the unique opportunity to listen to the testimony of Holocaust survivors and gain insight into individual life stories of tragedy, but also of courage, solidarity and perseverance. Most of the 8,500 students who visited our museum and listened to a testimony came from Montreal and other

cities in Quebec. But a growing number of school groups come from Ontario, as well as the United States. Our survivor speakers also talk in schools, churches, community venues and conferences. In 2017-2018 close to 3,500 people had the opportunity to meet a survivor and get to know their stories outside the walls of the Museum. The remarkable commitment of these survivors who continue to share these very difficult testimonies, despite their advancing age, is very much appreciated by students and adults alike.

Oral History Collection The Museum continues to grow its Oral History collection. In 2017-2018, 12 survivors,

coming from eight different countries, recorded their story with us through the support of fully trained volunteers. In keeping with our objective of capturing more stories in French and from North African countries, we interviewed four survivors in French, one of whom is originally from Morocco.

We concluded a new agreement with the USC Shoah Foundation to ensure the perpetual preservation and accessibility of our 33 recent survivor interviews. They are being digitized and catalogued for integration into the Visual History Archive, and will be available at the Jewish Public Library, as are all 55,000 testimonies including, the Canadian collection.

We launched the online exhibit Building New Lives, developed with the financial support of the Virtual Museum of Canada Investment Program, in March 2018. It showcases the history of the immigration and integration of Holocaust survivors to Canada through oral history, maps and personal photographs. The oral histories of 20 Holocaust survivors, who arrived between 1933 and 1955, are at the centre of the exhibit. The exhibit brings together video testimonies and expertise from organizations across Canada including the Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre from Toronto, the Ontario Jewish Archives, the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada, the Dworkin Canadian Jewish Archives, Université du Québec à Montréal Museum Studies Department and Université Laval.

HUMAN RIGHTSLEARNING FROM THE PAST AND TAKING ACTION TODAY

Taking a stand

With growing acts of hate and instances of human rights violations occurring around the world, this year more than ever, we were compelled to speak out and reaffirm our role in sensitizing the public to the universal perils of antisemitism, racism, hate and indifference.

In the past year, the Museum voiced its concern on issues of forced migration, antisemitism, religious freedom and historical revisionism. The Museum reiterated its support for Romanipe campaign, for the recognition of the Roma genocide. In breaking news, the Government of Canada announced its recognition of the genocide on August 2nd, 2018. Raising Awareness

In line with our commitment to engage the public in contemporary issues, we continue to organize events on pressing human rights issues. In doing so, the Museum worked in close collaboration with many organizations and communities. The variety of issues addressed also led us to foster new partnerships with organizations such as the Centre for the prevention of Radicalization Leading to Violence (CPRLV), Yazda (a Yazidi organisation), and the Canadian Rohingya Development Initiative, to name just a few. One notable event, attended by 120 people,

was Warnings from the Rohingya, a discussion between Payam Akhavan, Law Professor and the Honourable Bob Rae, Canada’s Special Envoy to Myanmar. This activity, held in partnership with the McGill Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism with the collaboration of Rohingya civil society, focused on the situation in Myanmar and the intervention of the Canadian government.

The Museum, increasingly recognized for its growing expertise in human rights education, was invited to present its work during a panel discussion focusing on Refugees and Museums: Critical practices for innovative actions in the age of migration at the Canadian Museum’s Association Annual Conference in Vancouver.

United Against Genocide: Understand, Question, Prevent

In the fall of 2017, the final section of our United Against Genocide: Understand, Question, Prevent exhibit was officially launched. This last section of the exhibit focuses on genocide prevention by examining contemporary situations of mass violence in Myanmar, Burundi, Iraq and South Sudan. It concludes a five-year project carried in partnership with the Rwandan, Armenian and Cambodian communities.

VOLUNTEERS

Our volunteers are at the very heart of the Montreal Holocaust Museum. From the beginning, their collective efforts formed a key element in the founding and development of the institution. Today, their commitment continues to play a vital role in our ongoing activities and their engagement is essential for the future success of the organization. Through their dedication, we continue to remember, to learn and to teach about the Holocaust, to commemorate those who were murdered and honour those who survived, and to bring these lessons to bear on contemporary life.

We are honoured to have an extraordinary team of over 160 volunteers involved in almost every aspect of the Museum and its activities. In 2017-2018 more than 20 volunteers served as museum guides while 80 volunteers served on different committees committed to the planning of cultural events, educational activities, human rights advocacy, fundraising, and more. Other volunteers assist in such tasks as videotaping and cataloguing survivor testimony and archiving documents. Our Board meets regularly to address matters concerning finance, governance, and strategic planning. We are particularly fortunate to count on 17 exceptional Holocaust survivors who are still willing and able to share their remarkable life stories, thus transmitting their precious eyewitness testimony to the history

of the Holocaust to over 12,000 people in 2017-2018. These are only a few examples of our volunteers’ irreplaceable impact on Holocaust and human rights education and assuring that remembrance has relevance for today.

Our volunteers made significant contributions to the accomplishments presented in this Annual Report. Their wisdom, tireless energy and generosity of spirit have been important factors in the Museum’s capacity to reach out in a meaningful way to a growing local, regional, national and international public. We owe a debt of profound gratitude to each of our volunteers for their devotion to the Montreal Holocaust Museum and its cause. Through their actions, they are helping to make the world a better place in which to live.

HELPING TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

OVER 75 PARTNERSHIPS THIS YEAR

PARTNERS

The Montreal Holocaust Museum partners with universities, community and human rights organisations, museums, Holocaust education centres, international organisations, and government in all spheres of its work. During the last year alone, we worked with at least 75 such partners on varying projects and events. In 2018, we were asked to join a network of the seven major American Holocaust museums, the only Canadian institution invited. The Group shares information and concerns, has written a joint statement for Yom Hashoah, and has plans to collaborate on education and exhibitions.

Each project undertaken, whether in the field of oral history, education, or development of traveling exhibits, is seen as a vehicle for building on existing relationships and creation of new partnerships, with the goals of further outreach and impact. The conclusion of the United against Genocide exhibit, which speaks to prevention, was made possible through collaboration with the Rohingya, South-Sudanese, Yazidi and Burundian communities in Canada. In 2017-2018, the Museum initiated two national projects: Beyond the Walls of the Museum, through InterAction funding, with partnerships across Canada, and Tell me a Story: Children’s Literature and the Holocaust, through Museum

Assistance Program funding. The latter aims to develop a traveling exhibit for libraries, to reach an audience of young families. Though not yet constructed, it is already booked for public libraries in Toronto, Ontario, and Montreal, and Chicoutimi, Quebec. The Museum continues to be part of the Canadian delegation to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).
