Educate, Remember, Advocate
At Hamilton Jewish Federation, we are deeply committed to Holocaust education, remembrance, and advocacy. Through our Holocaust Education programs, we strive to ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust are remembered and imparted to future generations. Your support and donations are crucial in this mission.
Margaret’s Legacy
Holocaust Learning & Jewish Advocacy Centre
In partnership with Margaret's Legacy, our programs aim to honour the memory of Holocaust survivors and victims by educating the community about the atrocities of the Holocaust and promoting Jewish advocacy.
Margaret’s Legacy was founded in 2008 in Hamilton, Ontario, by Danna Horwood. This organization began as a dedication to providing high-quality Holocaust education, rooted in the micro-history of Horwood’s grandparents, survivors Margaret and Arthur Weisz.
