Two day-long symposia on the Holocaust are held each May at the University of British Columbia. Over a thousand senior high school students meet with survivor speakers in small group sessions, view films and hear from historians, educators and anti-racism speakers.

Space for the UBC Symposia is limited. For information please contact 604.264.0499 or info@vhec.org.

There were many new insights and perspectives discussed that stimulated me to think critically about central issues surrounding the Holocaust and its effect on present conflicts.

– Grade 12 student, 2006

The Annual High School Symposia are supported by the Waldman Endowment Fund of the VHEC, Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver, University of British Columbia, Leo Krell Memorial Book Fund of the VHEC, Meyer & Gita Kron Fund, and Sid & Sylvia Eibschutze Endowment Fund.
