Dear all members,
OPSEU/SEFPO’s Jewish Caucus invites you to join us for a special Holocaust Education Week virtual event on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
We will be screening the film Sabotage, followed by a guided conversation exploring themes of resistance, solidarity, and memory. This program honours Holocaust remembrance while deepening our understanding of labour, resistance, justice, and collective action values at the heart of our union.
Date: November 4, 2025
Time: 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM
Location: Zoom
Holocaust Education Week is a time to remember, learn, and reflect. Through stories of resilience and resistance, we honour those who came before us and strengthen our commitment to fighting antisemitism and all forms of hate.
About the Film:
Sabotage is an inspirational and gripping documentary combining animation, archival footage, and live testimony to tell the untold story of a women’s underground resistance in Auschwitz-Birkenau. These courageous Jewish women prisoners risked their lives smuggling gunpowder from a munitions factory to sabotage the Nazi gas chambers. The film is based on the diary of Ottawa resident Anna Wajcblum, one of the saboteurs, whose sister was publicly executed after being caught. It is a powerful testament to the role of women in resistance and solidarity under unimaginable conditions.
We look forward to sharing this meaningful event with you.
