Title
The Refugee Youth Program in Montreal, 1947-1952: A Descriptive and Analytical Study of the Integration of 40 Jewish Refugee Youths into the Montreal Community
Abstract
A descriptive and analytical study of the integration of forty Jewish refugee youths, 14 to 18 years of age, into the Montreal community between 1947 and 1952. The authors describe the purposes and goals of the Montreal Jewish community in planning the settlement for this group, and describe the services and resources made available in the areas of foster homes, education and job placement. The authors conclude that, on the whole, the youths integrated successfully into the Montreal community, and that in the early stages of the integration the youths exhibited strong trends towards independent activity in planning for themselves.
