Thank you so much for your support in 2017.
Together we made substantial progress in educating and advocating. We are making Canada a better place and ensuring Simon Wiesenthal's legacy of Never Again is always at the forefront.
Because of you, we enrich people's lives every day. We hold up to eight sessions most days to teach about the Holocaust, counter antisemitism, and promote good citizenship in Canada.
This month, we reached our 470th school stop and 100,000 educated students on the Tour for Humanity. Add in the rest of our programs like Freedom Day, Compassion to Action, Tolerance Training Workshops, Speakers Idol and more - we have had a compounded reach of over 500,000 people whose lives we have changed.
Your outstanding support has helped us stand up to antisemitism - especially in bringing charges against a hateful publication and also launching our new cross-country antisemitism watch found on our website. Our staff and teams of experts, including our Legal Action Committee, are dedicated to fighting hate and intolerance vigorously and relentlessly.
Will you continue standing with us? Will you help us honour Simon Wiesenthal and the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust?
Thank you for all you have done, and all you will do.
Sincerely, Avi
Continue the fight against hate and antisemitism by supporting the work of Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center.
