FRIENDS OF SIMON WIESENTHAL CENTRE
FOR HOLOCAUST STUDIES
Entries are now being accepted for the 11th annual Speaker’s Idol speech competition, once again being held in a virtual format. Students in Grades 6-8 and Grades 9-12 are being asked to prepare and submit their thoughts on how to make positive change while commenting on Simon Wiesenthal’s famous quote:
“The history of humankind is the history of crimes and history can repeat. So information is a defence. Through this we can build, we must build, a defence against repetition.”
This year, students from across Canada will have a chance to submit their speech to win the title of Speaker’s Idol (and, of course, one of our many exciting prizes!)
Submissions will be accepted until midnight EST on March 12, 2021, and the finalists virtual presentation will be taking place on May 13, 2021.
