Canada to apologise for turning away Jews before WWII
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau will deliver a formal apology in the Parliament for the country's refusal to admit a ship carrying Jewish asylum seekers fleeing Nazi Germany, months before World War II. While honouring Holocaust survivors, Trudeau added, "We failed the passengers, their descendants, and the community." Out of 907 Jews onboard the ship, 254 were killed in the Holocaust.
