About the Museum:
Opened in June of 2023, the Toronto Holocaust Museum is a state-of-the-art facility that inspires us to think deeply and differently about the tragedies of the Holocaust and encourages the connection between Holocaust, world events and contemporary Canadian life.  
 
Visitors have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the lives of Canadian survivors, following their journeys from prewar, their experiences during the Holocaust, to their eventual immigration and life in Canada. 
 
Designed for the post-survivor era, this technologically advanced museum integrates augmented reality and interactive inquiry-based approaches, thus ensuring survivor testimony will continue to be shared long after they are gone.
