2003 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents

ENDNOTES

NOTE In the 1994 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents, the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada included the following statement on page 12: “Furthermore, individuals including . . . Paul Fromm. . . have attained prominence, and have been prosecuted, for their active promotion of hate against Jews in the form of Holocaust denial and the promotion of conspiracy theories.” The League acknowledges that Paul Fromm has never attained prominence, or been prosecuted, for any such offences.”

^viiPrior to the 2002 Audit, violence was included in the harassment category, since it was not considered a sufficiently common phenomenon to warrant a separate category. As physical assault became more common following 9/11, the League added the third category of violence in order to be able to track the increasing use of violence in the incidents reported during 2002.
