Canadians will be able to reach outside their borders to commemorate the Holocaust when a new stamp is issued this week.
The 45-cent stamp, designed by the Toronto firm Q30 Designs, is inscribed in English and French “The Holocaust 1933-1945.”
The stamp shows a collage of various artifacts from the collection of the Holocaust Education and Memorial Center here, including a yellow Star of David inscribed “Jude,” a passport stamped “J” and the striped uniform of a concentration camp inmate.
The first date of issue marks the 57th anniversary of Kristallnacht, or the “Night of the Broken Glass,” the Nazi anti-Jewish pogrom committed Nov. 9-10, 1938, during which Jews, their property and synagogues were attacked.
