Hello everyone,

Last month, there was an incident of anti-Semitic graffiti outside the AGO building. While the suspect was later identified and arrested and the graffiti removed, such hateful behaviour is not uncommon.

Hate has no place at the AGO. It’s important to continue educating ourselves about the Holocaust and the roots of anti-Semitism.

To support all AGO staff and volunteers in our ongoing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) learning, on Thursday, September 8, 2022, there will be a webinar about Jewish history and culture in Toronto. The webinar will led by Dara Solomon, Executive Director of the Ontario Jewish Archives and the Toronto Holocaust Museum. All are invited to attend!

What are the details?

•  The webinar will take place over Zoom on Thursday, September 8, 2022 from 1 pm to 1:50 pm
