| description |
Holocaust survivors who came to Canada have been characterized
as alienated from Canadian Jewish life. Often, however, no
objective study has been conducted of how survivors interacted
with the economic, social and cultural life of their host communities
in order to substantiate this claim. This paper studies
survivors’ residential and occupational patterns after coming to
Vancouver, and examines their affiliations with community
organizations. It combines objective data with oral interviews
to demonstrate how survivors integrated into the Vancouver
host Jewish community and whether or not they remained
alienated from it. |
