OUR STORY
ABOUT MARGARET'S LEGACY
Margaret’s Legacy was born in 2008 out of a single question from Danna Horwood’s 11-year-old daughter who was curious about her family’s Holocaust history. Danna was motivated to preserve her grandparents’ story through a documentary that her own young children could understand and learn from. What started as a personal Holocaust education project quickly became something far greater. The film started reaching and inspiring thousands of young people across North America, sparking powerful conversations about antisemitism, resilience, and what it means to stand up to hate.
THE
NEXT CHAPTER
INTERGENERATIONAL HEALING
Margaret’s Legacy continues its core Holocaust education work through the The Margaret's Legacy Holocaust Learning and Jewish advocacy Centre in collaboration with the Hamilton Jewish Federation. At the same time, our team’s focus has shifted toward supporting the social, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of the next generation.
As world Jewry experiences heightened antisemitism and hate, many of us have been noticing reactions in our minds and bodies that feel all too familiar. This is because our inheritance goes far deeper than eye colour and personality traits. We inherit beliefs, fears, defenses, traumas, and unfinished stories that shape how we live.
This next chapter of Margaret’s Legacy, beginning with the release of Danna's Memoir, invites us to explore our inner world with compassion. To understand the stories that have shaped us, recognizing that healing is possible.
