Holocaust memorial omits any mention of Jews

"What? Jews were in the camps?"

(Times of Israel)  -  Canada’s government removed a plaque at a new Holocaust memorial that omitted any reference to Jews or anti-Semitism.

The National Holocaust Memorial, in the capital of Ottawa, was inaugurated last week by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

On Tuesday, a lawmaker from the opposition Conservative Party criticized the “profoundly obvious omission.”

“If we are going to stamp out hatred toward Jews, it is important to get history right,” said MP David Sweet.

Following its removal, Heritage Minister Melanie Joly said the plaque would be replaced with a new one “that reflects the horrors experienced by the Jewish people.”

She also stressed that the memorial “commemorates the 6 million Jews as well as the 5 million other victims that were murdered during the Holocaust.”

The original plaque memorialized the “millions of men, women and children murdered during the Holocaust” and the “survivors who persevered and were able to make their way to Canada after one of the darkest chapters in history.”
