Un grève comme il n'y en a plus
|
Abstract |
The author outlines one of the most iconic events in the history of anti-Semitism in Quebec, the 1934 strike by interns at Montreal's Notre-Dame Hospital, the first medical strike in Canada. The interns were opposed to the appointment of a Jewish physician, Dr. Samuel Rabinovitch (1901-2010), as the hospital's senior intern. Rabinovitch was the first Jew to earn a staff position at a Quebec Catholic hospital. Rabinovitch had graduated at the top of his class from Université de Montréal; the striking interns demanded that a French-Canadian fill the post. When the hospital's medical board refused to remove Rabinovitch, the interns went on a four-day strike. The strike spread to four other hospitals, bringing to seventy-five the total estimated picketing interns. With the threat of some two hundred nurses joining the strike, Rabinovitch resigned.
