   Joe Cooper to All   
   Canadian PM Justin Trudeau omitted menti

   Canada was the last industrialized country to officially commemorate the   
   Holocaust and only last week dedicated its National Holocaust Monument in   
   Ottawa.   
      
   The design of it clearly evokes and honors the six-point Star of David   
   emblem of Judaism:   
      
   [IMAGE: Canadian Holocaust monument]   
      
   Yet the plaque Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau unveiled last week at the   
   dedication of the monument omitted any mention of Jews.   
      
   Presumably, the wording used by the P.M. in a public exhibition went   
   through several rounds of staff review and approval, yet nobody working   
   for Trudeau noticed this?  How is that possible?   
      
   So insulting is this omission that the embarrassed government of Canada   
   is removing the plaque.  Ryan Maloney of HuffPo Canada writes:   
      
   Canada's heritage minister says a plaque Prime Minister Justin Trudeau   
   used to inaugurate the National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa last week   
   has been removed because it did not "reflect the horrors experienced by   
   the Jewish people."   
      
   Melanie Joly made the announcement in question period Tuesday after   
   Conservative MP David Sweet noted that the plaque failed to mention the   
   Jewish people by name.   
      
   "How could the prime minister permit such a glaring omission of reference   
   to anti-Semitism and the fact that the millions of men, women and   
   children who were murdered were overwhelmingly Jewish?" Sweet asked.   
      
   "If we're going to stamp out hatred towards Jews, it's important to get   
   history right."   
      
   Sweet urged Trudeau to correct the "profoundly obvious" oversight.   
      
   Joly told the House of Commons the plaque will be replaced. She said the   
   monument commemorates the six million Jewish people and five million   
   other victims murdered during the Holocaust.   
      
   Yes, non-Jews were also mass murdered by the Nazis, but the entire   
   project of extermination camps was specifically launched as the "final   
   solution" to the existence of the Jewish People, an industrialized   
   genocide the likes of which the world had never before seen and must   
   never again permit.

   and necessary, to save America from some kind of a Fourth Reich   
   perpetrated by the GOP." (Douglas Gibbs )
