- Leora Schaefer, Program Director, Facing History and Ourselves Canada
What justice is possible after persecution and genocide? After the Holocaust redress took a variety of forms: war crime trials, apologies and reparations to survivors. In Canada, the persecution of First Nations has resulted in apologies, reparations to survivors and the creation of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission about to begin national deliberations.
