Canadian Jewish officials fear that a possible government study on expanding a proposed National Holocaust Gallery to include other instances of genocide may lead their government to backtrack from building a stand-alone Holocaust memorial facility. Veterans groups and others have opposed the idea of having a Holocaust gallery in the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. Meanwhile, Moshe Ronen, the newly installed national president of the Canadian Jewish Congress, is urging the government to help Canadian servicemen who were imprisoned in Buchenwald during the war receive compensation from Germany.
