| Title |
What Else Could We Have Done?: The Montreal Jewish Community, the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Jewish Press and the Holocaust
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the Montreal Jewish community, its leadership, the Jewish press and their response to the fate of European Jewry leading up to and during the Second World War. The author pays particular attention to the Canadian Jewish Congress, reborn in 1934 as a result of anti-Semitism in Europe and in Canada, which influenced the outlook of the Montreal Jewish community. The author argues that as the war progressed, loyalty to Canada and the war effort became the overriding issue in Montreal’s Jewish community and concern for their European brethren faded into the background.
