The Ukrainian community position is that there will be one exhibit which covers all genocides equally (incl. Holodomor-Genocide in Ukraine 1932-33) and that there will no be one gallery that highlights a particular genocide (Holocaust) permanently while all others are grouped together in a separate exhibit. The publicly funded Human Rights Museum should not focus on only one historical tragedy over all others.
The Ukrainian Canadian Congress has asked the Government of Canada to:
1. Reconstitute the Museum's Board of Trustees;
2. Conduct an independent review of the Museum's design, layout and content in a public and transparent manner to ensure that it is decided upon and displayed in a fair and equitable manner;
3. Ensure that the contents of the CMHR be reviewed by a newly appointed, independent and impartial Content Advisory Committee; and
4. Make sure that all work and procurement relating to content, design or that may impact on these aspects, be immediately suspended until its design, layout and content has been publicly presented. More: www.ucc.ca | www.uccab.ca
