Antijudaïsme et influence nazie au Québec : Le cas du journal L'Action catholique (1931-1939)

| Abstract |
The author examines the reaction of French Quebecers to the manifestations of cultural diversity in the first decades of the twentieth century. Specifically, he examines how the Francophone elite of Quebec City reacted to the small Jewish immigrant population in their midst, especially towards the opening and expansions of the Pollack department store. Maurice Pollack (1885-1968), a Jewish immigrant of Ukrainian origin, arrived in Quebec City in 1902. In 1906, he opened a small men’s haberdashery on rue Saint-Joseph. Five years later, he moved into a larger space on rue Saint-Joseph, adding women’s and children’s departments. In 1931 his five-level store was extended from rue Saint-Joseph to boulevard Charest. The publisher contends that Francophones during this period were “anxious, confused and very reluctant” over the presence of immigrants in their city, especially the presence of Jewish businesses. The author examines the population’s anti-Semitic views through the prism of the newspaper L'Action catholique, supported by the Catholic Church and the conservative French-speaking elite.
