WINNIPEG, Manitoba – Organizers behind the planned Canadian Museum for Human Rights said they are not playing favourites.
Some Ukrainian and German groups are upset that the museum will have a gallery dedicated to the Holocaust, while other atrocities have share space in another gallery.
Museum CEO Stuart Murray said the Museum is not trying to say one genocide is worse than another.
“We don’t want to get into a comparative because once you start comparing two genocides then you start comparing a third and a forth,” said Murray.
“That’s a slippery slope spiral that we’re just not going to get into.”
The Museum for Human Rights is slated to open in Winnipeg in 2013 and will be the first National Museum outside the Ottawa region.
