'Créée par le peuple et pour le peuple' : Réflexions sur les origines historiques de la Bibliothèque publique juive de Montréal
|
| Abstract |
A history of the early years of Montreal's Jewish Public Library (Di Yidishe Folks Biblyotek), opened in May 1914. The author points out that the library was founded in the wake of two broad ideological movements that had permeated the city since the beginning of the large Eastern-European migration. On the one hand, the institution was influenced by modernist and universalist concepts found in the Haskalah, promoted among others by Montreal newspaper editor and thinker Reuben Brainin (1862-1939); and on the other hand, it benefited from the exceptional organizational strength of a left-wing Zionist party born out of the 1905 Russian Revolution, Poale-Zion. The author highlights this historical conjuncture by exploring the first annual report of the Jewish Public Library, published in 1915, which bears numerous testimonies to these ideological movements.
