The Jewish Federation of Winnipeg applauds Facebook's decision to update their hate speech policy to ban content that denies or distorts the Holocaust on its platform. Holocaust denial is one of the most insidious and extreme forms of antisemitism and used actively in online spaces to promote hatred against Jews. We are grateful for the hard work of CIJA, Holocaust survivors, and all who advocated for this overdue revision to Facebook's policy. As long as social media is used as a space to promote hatred and antisemitism, our advocacy work on this topic will continue unabated. If you see content on Facebook or other social media platforms that denies or distorts the Holocaust, we encourage you to report it immediately. #jewishwinnipeg #holocaust #neveragain

It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of Barry McArton, z"l. Barry was an incredibly committed, enthusiastic, and caring member of our community. A true leader, he was the Combined Jewish Appeal Campaign Chair in 2019-2020, a member of the Board of Governors for the Asper Jewish Community Campus, and a dedicated volunteer for numerous other organizations. Barry was a go-getter and was full of life and energy. Above all, he was a mensch. Last year, Barry dedicate...d himself to personally calling every donor to the Combined Jewish Appeal, to thank them. No job was too big or too small for Barry, he was always the first to raise his hand to help. Through his volunteer service, he immeasurably improved our community while personally impacting those who had the privilege of working with him. Barry’s legacy will live on. He will be deeply missed. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife Carol, his children, grandchildren and extended family. May his memory be a blessing. #jewishwinnipeg
