On today’s solemn remembrance of the liberation of Auschwitz, let’s pause & remember the Holocaust.

This happened 80 years ago on European soil & is still within living memory. Democracy is fragile.

Today we must continue to fight antisemitism & educate in every generation.

How did Adolf Hitler's car end up in Ottawa?
And does it 'glamorize Nazism,' as some critics suggest?

On this day in 1917, the Mont-Blanc exploded in Halifax Harbour, releasing a 2.9 kiloton explosion.
The largest human-made explosion in history to that point, it killed nearly 2,000 people and injured 9,000.
Let's learn about this dark day.

A remarkable photograph capturing the first two minutes of silence in London, exactly 105 years ago.

In those moments, the immense burden of personal grief and mourning would have been amplified beyond comprehension.

During the Second World War, over 800 women were engaged in aerial photographic interpretation units both in Britain and abroad.

These women performed identical tasks to their male counterparts and were selected based purely on their abilities, competence and proficiency.
