Ernie's Books

Ernie's books is new initiative from Liberation75, with an aim to provide grade 6 teachers with free books for their classrooms, lesson plans by the publisher, Challenging Stories Book Club events, and other educational opportunities throughout the year.

Challenging Stories
Book Club

Challenging Stories Book Club aims to provide Grade 6 teachers with practical tools, ideas and strategies for how to teach the Holocaust using children's literature.

 

Each month, we will feature an author of a highly regarded, age-appropriate book, in conversation with a grade 6 educator who will discuss how they teach the book in their own classroom.

The Willesden Project

The Canadian Premiere of the Willesden Project, presented by the Jewish Heritage Committee of the Toronto District School Board (TDSB), in partnership with Liberation75, Echoes and Reflections and USC Shoah Foundation was a huge success in 2023! Inspired by the power of story to transform lives, this ground-breaking initiative combines testimony, technology, and music to reshape Holocaust education.

Last
Chance Collection

In 2021, Liberation75 was invited by the USC Shoah Foundation to pursue an important mission: Find 150 Canadian Holocaust survivors and record their testimonies. We are proud to announce that we have achieved this goal thanks to a generous donor and the unrelenting efforts of a team of videographers, interviewers, coordinators and partners from coast to coast across Canada. We are so grateful to everyone who participated – especially the Holocaust survivors who shared their painful and important memories with us.

Our Virtual Holocaust Library

We created the first Virtual Holocaust Library to house all the recordings from Liberation75. Our library has since expanded to house world-leading digital content from partner organizations, museums, educators, artists and Holocaust survivors. All the content is online and free - with no registration required.
