The family, on foot and waiting to cross the street in London, Ontario, was deliberately hit by a vehicle.

It is clear to Canadian authorities that this was a hate crime because the family was targeted for their religion.

Opinions differ about what led to the current eruption of violence, how to stop it, and how to work toward a peaceful resolution to this long-standing crisis. However, as a museum that was founded by Holocaust survivors, there are several points that are clear to us.
