Destination Elsewhere
Humanitarian responses to and experiences of displacement in the aftermath of the Second World War have received considerable scholarly attention over the past two decades. The field has been particularly dynamic in recent years, from examinations of the everyday encounters between relief workers and displaced persons (DPs) to broader accounts of how the war cast a long shadow over individual lives and countries (see, for instance, the excellent …
Navigating a Limited ‘World of Possibilities’
What can historians bring to the current discussion about refugee journeys? Building on the example of a group of 1,115 young Jewish survivors who went to Canada in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust, this article addresses two essential questions: why did they leave and why did they go to Canada and not elsewhere? Drawing on Nicolas Mariot and Claire Zalc's notion of a ‘world of possibilities’ and taking into consideration age as a categor…
Contested Childhood
In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, identity documents and proofs of age were often lost or unavailable, bodies and behaviours had been marked by years of malnourishment and persecution, young people had learned to misrepresent their age for the sake of survival, and administrations routinely doubted age claims. The war had profoundly disrupted the system for knowing age that had become central to Western European regimes of recog…
‘The fight on educating the public to equal treatment for all will have to come later’
Canadian immigration policy of the 1930s and 1940s was the most restrictive and selective in the country’s history, making it one of the countries to take the smallest number of Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazi persecution. After the war, Canada slowly opened its borders, but only through small token gestures in 1947 and 1948. This article explores how the main Canadian Jewish organization lobbied for the welcoming of more Jewish refugees and mig…
Visualising Holocaust Child-survivors in Canada
In 1947, the Canadian Jewish Congress was authorized to bring 1000 young Holocaust survivors to Canada. The government required all newcomers to be placed in foster families. This led the CJC to set up a campaign to find potential foster parents. Bringing together scholarship on humanitarian photography and on post-World War 2 childhood, this article examines the imagery and accompanying narratives of the campaign and explores how notions of vict…
Concentration Camps
Retranscrire la violence et le traumatisme
Les Canadian Jewish Archives à Montréal ont conservé plus de mille dossiers de demandes de visa d'orphelins de la Shoah ayant immigré au Canada à la fin des années 1940. À partir de ces dossiers, il est possible de renseigner les trajectoires individuelles des jeunes rescapés et surtout de saisir comment elles ont été retranscrites par l'administration. Cette source donne en effet à voir une écriture administrative singulière de la Shoah où la vi…
