Shoah education still key for human rights museum

WINNIPEG — Despite complaints from some quarters, Holocaust education remains an important focal point of the still-in-development Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

According to an internal working document released recently to the media by the museum’s board, a display on the Holocaust will fill a 4,500-square-foot space, making it the facility’s largest stand-alone gallery after its Canada’s Journey gallery.

“The lessons of the Holocaust demand that we be vigilant,” the working paper states.

The outer structure of the $350-million-plus museum was completed late last year. The museum is expected to open to the public in 2014.
