For nearly 50 years in Canada, being gay made you a threat and could get you fired from the federal public service, military and RCMP. And then, people pushed back. Visit Love in a Dangerous Time: Canada's LGBT Purge, opening January 31.

Dimensions in Testimony was developed by the USC Shoah Foundation. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights’ presentation of Dimensions in Testimony is also supported by the Montreal Holocaust Museum, The Asper Foundation and the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba.

You can ask survivors about their childhood memories, how they survived, or what gives them hope for the future. Experience Dimensions in Testimony every Friday and Saturday at 1:15 p.m. (English) and 2:15 p.m. (French).

The Dimensions in Testimony project recorded thousands of responses from Holocaust survivors, preserving their stories forever. These responses are used to answer any question you might ask, as if you were in the very same room.

What would you ask if you were face-to-face with a Holocaust survivor?. Now, you can have a real conversation with a survivor using state-of-the-art technology.

Following 1834, racism remained woven in the fabric of the lands that would become Canada. Slavery created systems of segregation, marginalization and systemic poverty, which have lasted longer than slavery itself.

Similarly, in the United States, June 19 is marked as Juneteenth - a commemoration of the day in 1865 that enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

The Slavery Abolition Act was enacted August 1, 1834, ending over 200 years of legal slavery. The enslavement of Africans played a significant role in the colonization of Canada, which is still deeply felt today.

August 1 is Emancipation Day, commemorating the abolishment of slavery in Canada. It's also a day to celebrate the victories and stories of Black Canadians. Share this post to help correct myths that prevent us from understanding Canada's history with slavery.
