Holocaust Education Program Podcast
Welcome to the official podcast of the English Montreal School Board Holocaust Education Program, supported by a grant from the Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal. Over the course of this academic year we will be interviewing survivors and talking to other students and staff about what they have learned from this new EMSB program, made possible thanks to a Jewish Community Foundation grant. It will include many guest speakers, activities and visits to the Montreal Holocaust Museum.

EMSB Commissioners Discuss Experience at Montreal Holocaust Museum.
On Monday, November 13, some members of the English Montreal School Board (EMSB) Council of Commissioners made an unprecedented visit to the Montreal Holocaust Museum.
The EMSB has placed a heavy emphasis on students, notably those from non-Jewish areas, visiting the Museum and learning more about the Holocaust and the evils of antisemitism. Most recently, the Council of Commissioners adopted a resolution calling for Holocaust education to become mandatory in the curriculum.
On this episode, EMSB Chair, Joe Ortona, and Parent Commissioner, Maria Corsi join Mark Bergman to discuss their experience at the museum.
