Dear Editor,
As a Jew, I recently anxiously attended an exhibit at the Langley Centennial Museum – More than Just Games – which highlighted the plight of Jews and others prior to the 1936 Olympics in Germany.
The exhibit was a historically accurate presentation of Canada’s ambivalence to Nazi Germany’s racist views on blacks and Jews, as Canada willfully participated in both the Summer and Winter Olympics.
I must praise the Langley Centennial Museum for its courage to educate us, in light Sochi Olympics.
