70 years ago, Canada brought 2500 Jewish refugees here because the country lacked tailors. Tonight on @TheAgenda, we find out about the @tailor_project from the 90 year old son of the man who helped integrate those tailors into Canada. 8/11pm @tvo. #Holocaust #Refugees

Après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, des milliers de survivants de l’Holocauste sont venus au Canada grâce au @tailor_project. Leurs histoires de résilience, de souffrances et de deuils comme celles racontées hier soir au @holyblossom nous permettent de ne pas oublier.

[The Globe and Mail @globeandmail]

In Toronto, beneficiaries of the historic Tailor Project that brought Jewish refugees to Canada meet for the first time https://t.co/yU4OLVexo5

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

After WWII, thousands of Holocaust survivors came to Canada through the @tailor_project to start a new life. By telling survivors’ stories, like we did last night at @holyblossom, we can make sure their experiences of resilience, suffering, & tremendous loss are never forgotten.

[Ahmed Hussen @HonAhmedHussen]

Humbled by hearing the heroic stories of Holocaust survivors and their journey to 🇨🇦 through the @tailor_project with @JustinTrudeau & @CarolynBennett at Holy Blossom.

We must never forget all that they went through. #NeverAgain
