Holocaust Education Week | Documentary & Discussion

Event Recording

Noor Cultural Centre is a proud supporter of Holocaust Education Week.  This year’s theme is ‘Illuminating the Shadows, Untold Stories’.  Please join us for our program, exploring the history of a precursor of the Holocaust.

Program 

Screening | ‘Namibia Genocide and the Second Reich’ (BBC, 2005; 58 mins) 
A hundred years ago, three quarters of the Herero people of the German colony of modern-day Namibia were killed, many in concentration camps. Today, the descendants of the survivors are seeking reparations from the German government. This film tells this oft-forgotten story, and its links to German racial theories that were also the basis for the subsequent Holocaust. 

Discussion | led by Professor Ivan Kalmar (Department of Anthropology, University of Toronto) 

Date: Saturday November 3, 2018
Time: 7 pm
Location: Auditorium, Noor Cultural Centre
Admission: Free

    About Noor Cultural Centre

    We aim to be a centre for Islamic practice and learning, and celebration of Islamic culture, while respecting the diversity in peoples and religions as directed by the Qur’an [49.13]: We have created you out of male and female, and have made you into nations and tribes, in order that you might come to know one another. In the sight of God the noblest among you is the one who is most deeply conscious of God.

    NOTE: Noor Cultural Centre no longer maintains a physical location

    Its 123 Wynford Drive location was sold in October 2021 after 18 months of continuous lockdown for COVID-19. Since March 2020, all Noor programming has been virtual, and is planned to continue thus, insh'Allah.
