While this story is comforting, a closer look at the experience of Holocaust survivors in North America shows it to be untrue. The arrival of tens of thousands of Jewish refugees was palpable in the streets of Montreal and their impact on the existing Jewish community is well-recognized. But what do we really know about how survivors' experienced their new community? Drawing on more than 60 interviews with survivors, hundreds of case files from Jewish Immigrant Aid Services, and other archival documents, The Montreal Shtetl presents a portrait of the daily struggles of Holocaust survivors who settled in Montreal, where they encountered difficulties with work, language, culture, health care, and a Jewish community that was not always welcoming to survivors. By reflecting on how institutional supports, gender, and community relationships shaped the survivors' settlement experiences, Abramson and Lynch show the relevance of these stories to current state policies on refugee immigration."-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Holocaust survivors |zQuébec (Province) |zMontréal |xSocial conditions |y20th century. 650 0 Holocaust survivors |zQuébec (Province) |zMontréal |xEconomic conditions |y20th century. 650 0 Holocaust survivors |zQuébec (Province) |zMontréal |vBiography. 650 6 Survivants de l'Holocauste |zQuébec (Province) |zMontréal |xConditions sociales |y20e siècle. 650 6 Survivants de l'Holocauste |zQuébec (Province) |zMontréal |xConditions économiques |y20e siècle. 650 6 Survivants de l'Holocauste |zQuébec (Province) |zMontréal |vBiographies. 650 7 Holocaust survivors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958838 650 7 Holocaust survivors |xSocial conditions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958857 651 7 Québec |zMontréal. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210434 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 700 1 Lynch, John |q(John Francis), |d1950- |eauthor. 776 1 Abramson, Zelda, 1951-, author. |tMontreal shtetl.: |dToronto : Between the Lines, 2019. |w(CaOONL)20189060719 852 0 |bstacks |hF1054.5.M89 |iJ5173 2019
