Actions include discussions with politicians and community leaders to address the problem of hate in public spaces, and the use of social and mainstream media to create greater awareness of antisemitism and anti-Israel defamation.
The Holocaust is commemorated in both public and private events, as well as through our annual “From Compassion to Action” missions which bring politicians and high-ranking police officers and police chiefs to visit the sites of the Holocaust in Europe.
Whether hosting panel discussions to counter anti-Israel activities on university campuses, launching media campaigns to raise awareness about hostile measures advocated by union leaders and anti-Israel activists, or dealing directly with politicians to combat hate and antisemitism in public spaces, FSWC continues to advocate for improved human rights in Canada and around the globe
Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies (FSWC) is a non-profit human rights organization committed to countering racism and antisemitism and to promoting the principles of tolerance, social justice and Canadian democratic values through advocacy and education.
Actively engaged in fostering the values of respect and acceptance, and in teaching the responsibilities of citizenship in a democratic society, we are guided by the worlds of Holocaust survivor Simon Wiesenthal: “Freedom is not a gift from heaven. One must fight for it every day.” Our philosophy is reflected in our many engaging educational programs.
