Grosse-Ile: The Holocaust Revisited
Abstract
A history of the events of 1847 on Grosse-Île and Montreal, where thousands of Irish immigrants died of typhus. In a stinging attack, the author blames the deaths on a "genocidal famine" cause by British landlords in Ireland that drove the Irish to leave their homeland.
