This article from The Winnipeg Sun discusses The Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada’s withdrawal from its partnership with the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) over concerns about a planned exhibit on the Nakba. The Jewish Heritage Centre has argued that the exhibit risks portraying a biased perspective, and has noted that the CMHR has not engaged with Jewish community groups or experts during the planning of the exhibit. The article reports that The Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada will now host our CEO Dr Andre Oboler on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

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