This article from The Canadian Jewish News reports that the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada has withdrawn from its partnership with the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) due to concerns about a forthcoming exhibit on the Nakba. The Centre argues that the exhibit may present a one-sided narrative and points out that the CMHR did not consult Jewish community organisations or subject-matter experts during its development. They contend that, without such engagement, the exhibit risks intensifying already heightened levels of antisemitism. The article also notes that the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada will instead host our CEO, Dr. Andre Oboler, as a speaker on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The article mistakenly claims that Oboler was scheduled to speak at CMHR on the 27th of January, for the 2026 International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Oboler did speak at a CMHR earlier this year on International Holocaust Remembrance Day in a joint event with The Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada. Oboler discussed trends in rising online antisemitism.
