Holocaust Survivors: Holocaust Education

Citizenship And Immigration Dept: The thesis criticizes the March of the Living , on which young Jews and Holocaust survivors travel to Poland and Israel, and the March of Remembrance and Hope , on which non-Jews and survivors go to Germany and Poland. It was written by Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid activist Jenny Peto, who is Jewish, according to The Star. According to Peto, the programs were designed to foster a sense of Jewish victimhood and generate support for Israel. The March of Remembrance and Hope, however, is run by the non-Jewish Canadian Centre for Diversity . The CCD and the March of the Living said the thesis was littered with errors and ontario citizenship and immigration minister Eric Hoskins said Tuesday that he was greatly disturbed and in fact disgusted to read about a University of Toronto master s thesis that calls two Holocaust education programs racist. The thesis was discussed in the Legislature after it was debated in the Star . Hoskins was responding to Progressive Conservative MPP Steve Clark, who called the thesis disgusting. PC MPP Peter Shurman, whose Thornhill riding includes a large Jewish population, said the thesis was a hateful, poorly researched piece of garbage. As reported in the news.
