摘要
Canada's new membership to the International Remembrance Alliance in 2009 bore the anticipation of Canada's commitment against racism of any kind. In this context, I review Holocaust representation in an Ontario Grade Ten course curriculum, 'Canadian and World History 10', and its provincially advised textbook, Canadian Sources: Investigated (1914 to the Present) (2008). I critique three main aspects of the portrayal: an ambiguously framed introductory paragraph which may harvest Hitler-centric misconceptions, antisemitism in Canada is presented via various opposing perspectives which obscure a clear image of the term, and an inadequate definition of the term 'Holocaust'.
