“None is too many.”

- Canadian Minister of Immigration Frederick Charles Blair, when asked how many Jews should be allowed into Canada during the Second World War

Reknowned architect Daniel Libeskind selected David Berman Communications to develop and produce the graphic design and typography for the Wheel Of Conscience, Canada’s national monument in memorial to the 937 passengers of the M.S. St. Louis, to be housed at Canada’s Pier 21 immigration museum in Halifax, and a project of the Canadian Jewish Congress.

Trevor Johnston assisted immeasurably with typography, production, and photo manipulation. Archivist Shirley Berman provided proofreading and additional research. Ben Armitage worked on photo rights and research. Together with Mosun in Toronto, we are very proud of the opportunity to help fulfill Daniel’s vision for the monument.
