"Voices of Winnipeg Holocaust Survivors" documents the experiences of more than 70 local survivors before, during and after the Holocaust. Edited by Belle Millo, Chair of the Holocaust Education Centre and designed by Gustavo Rymberg, formerly of Winnipeg, the hardcover 432 page book is available for purchase at the Jewish Heritage Centre office for $36 (including GST). Voices of Winnipeg Holocaust Survivors represents the culmination of several years of work, which began more than a decade ago with the Manitoba Holocaust Heritage Project. All proceeds from the sale of the book will go towards digitization of survivor audio and video testimony and Holocaust education.

To counter those in Canada who do not want to see the inclusion of a pemanent Holocaust Gallery in the upcoming Canadian Museum for Human rights, the Jewish Heritage Centre has created an online petition that it will present to the Content Advisory Committee of the museum.
