The Montreal Holocaust Museum (French: Musée de l'Holocauste Montréal) is a museum located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is dedicated to educating people of all ages and backgrounds about the Holocaust, while sensitizing the public to the universal perils of antisemitism, racism, hate and indifference. Through the museum, its commemorative programs and educational initiatives, it aims to promote respect for diversity and the sanctity of human life.[1] The Museum was founded in 1979 as the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre (French: Centre commémoratif de l’Holocauste à Montréal) and is Canada's first and only recognized Holocaust museum.
