This completely underscores the importance of history education at all levels including post-secondary education.
Shocked, shocked, I say.

A beautiful and important tradition for the fallen. Thank you to the amazing children who continue to remember. ❤️
Every Christmas Eve local school children come to Holten and Groesbeek Canadian Military Cemeteries in the Netherlands to light a candle in honour of each soldier laid to rest. The act is both humbling and beautiful and serves as reminder to be grateful for the peace we enjoy.

Received a beautiful class set of To Hope and Back: The Journey of the St.Louis by Kathy Kacer today. I can’t wait to use this to supplement my teaching of the Holocaust to my grade 6s. Thank you @Liberation_75 and @KathyKacer for your commitment to Holocaust Ed in Ontario!

Over 2,000 candles were placed on the graves yesterday.
The camera was on a long exposure and no photoshop used.
An inspiring visit to the Toronto Holocaust Museum with @HilaryEarl1 and 48 @NipissingU undergrad and graduate students today. Thank you Pinchas Gutter for inspiring the next generation to speak up against #hate and for sharing your incredible story. @NUSUtalks @NUHistDept
