FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 27, 2026

“Each year on January 27, we mark the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945. This commemoration as International Holocaust Remembrance Day stands as an annual recollection of what happens when antisemitism and hatred in a civilized society expands unchecked. Those of us involved in the Simeon Initiative take this day as a reminder of our duty as Christian leaders to stand resolutely with our Jewish fellow citizens against the scourge of antisemitism wherever it is found. We do this not just as Christians but as Canadians dedicated to the upholding of peace, order, and good government for all who call this dominion home.”

• Dr. Andrew Bennett, Director of Faith Community Engagement at Cardus
