Trudeau delivers remarks at Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony | FULL

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave remarks during an International Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa on Friday.

In an era of social media with videos containing hate targeting Jewish people and others posted to TikTok and Twitter daily, experts say that an understanding of the past may be more important now than ever. Beyond high-profile figures, and outside social media, some believe antisemitism is becoming mainstream in society.

Earlier this month, Ottawa police charged two high school students with public incitement of hatred, criminal harassment, and mischief following an incident in which they were accused of displaying a hate symbol and using antisemitic language.

The Ontario government has recently mandated Holocaust education as of Grade 6 to help younger students gain a deeper understanding of the significance of the Holocaust.
