Despite attempts by members of the public to have a memorial for a controversial lawyer shut down, the event went ahead at a Toronto public library on Wednesday night with extra security.

Who the woman was, who she represented during her career and who was scheduled to speak at the event created heat for the library, which allowed her supporters to book space and hold the nearly two-hour evening event at an Etobicoke branch.

'Those tied to hate and bigotry have no place in our libraries.'
- James Pasternak, city councillor
Barbara Kulaszka, a librarian turned lawyer, according to the memorial page, acted as counsel for Holocaust-denier Ernst Zundel and Marc Lemire, leader of the Heritage Front — a white supremacist group.

She died in her hometown of Brighton, Ont., about 150 kilometres east of Toronto in June.
