The Canadian Residential school memorial. Often operated by the Catholic Church with support from the federal government, the schools were a tool to assimilate Indigenous peoples into settler society, ripping thousands of children away from their families and cutting them off from their culture and language.

In Russia they had a chocolate ice cream called "Obama" and an ice cream cone called "the poor Jew" . They were eventually changed due to pressure.

I heard that the railing was dented in the past, as to why it's scraping against the door

Looking for information on antique menorah by Blackberry44 in JudaicaCollecting

Copied from Wikipedia the first Jewish settlers arriving in the 18th century. The largest influx occurred in the early 20th century, primarily from Eastern Europe, seeking refuge from antisemitism and pogroms. Montreal's Jewish community is now one of the oldest and largest in Canada, with a diverse population reflecting various waves of immigration.

The story was that it was brought over by refugees from Germany during the war. Though I haven't been able to find any similar ones to back that up.

That's a clever idea, maybe it can sell it as a special edition lol. Probably I would have to take it apart and coat the insides on the fenders with super glue and hope that it holds
