Title
Placed Upon the Landscape, Casting Shadows: Jewish Canadian Monuments and Other Forms of Memory
Abstract
The author explores monuments, including the National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa, and gravestones in Jewish cemeteries in Montreal and Vancouver. Alongside these sites he considers how Canadian Jewish literature presents possibilities for Jewish history and language to mark the Canadian landscape though a consideration of the burial sites of Leonard Cohen and Eli Mandel. The Westmount-born poet and songwriter Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) is buried in Montreal's Shaar Hashomayim cemetery.
