A CMHR spokesperson tells The Art Newspaper that the “Dimensions in Testimony” section of the museum’s existing Holocaust exhibit requires special facilitation and staffing.

A petition objecting to Canadian Heritage Minister Marc Miller’s perceived attempt at political interference in Palestine Uprooted has gathered more than 12,000 signatures.
