More than 30 survivors of the Holocaust and children of survivors were warmly welcomed by Mayor Jean Drapeau of Montreal in his office today to participate in special ceremonies commemorating the 40th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi death camps.
The delegation was headed by Dr. Mony Fromowicz, an organizer of the forthcoming national gathering of Holocaust survivors and their children to be held in Ottawa April 28-30.
Drapeau told his guests that he was honored to be their host, noting that it was important that Canadians do not forget the Holocaust. “We are witnesses to this tragic legacy. It is very important for Canadians to attend the gathering in Ottawa,” the Mayor said.
