“CHES has met a critical need in Ottawa by bringing together rigorous scholarship and a broad educational mandate. In doing so, CHES has enriched the conversation around Holocaust history, antisemitism, and intolerance, and has built bridges between survivors, volunteers, scholars, teachers, students, diplomats and the community at large.” – Dr. Deidre Butler, Director, Zelikovitz Centre for Jewish Studies
