Increasing Holocaust education

In 2022, during Holocaust Education Week, the minister of education announced that Holocaust education will be mandatory in elementary schools across the province of Ontario, starting in grade 6, as a response to rising antisemitism in schools. A survey that was conducted by Western University and Liberation 75 in 2021 found that 1 in 3 students thought that the Holocaust was either fabricated, exaggerated, or did not happen at all. In a newer survey with 9000 grade-6 students conducted in 2024, over 40% responded that they had unquestionably witnessed an antisemitic event. In an interview with Founder, Marilyn Sinclair, it was discussed that Jews represent only 2% of the population in Canada, however 360 out of 900 students had witnessed this. Sinclair mentioned in that same survey, students were asked, "how big of a problem is it?" 50% said that when they witness an antisemitic event, "it's a huge problem that needs to be dealt with urgently."
