Montreal Jewish Memories: Stories of the Thirties

Montreal Jews strike roots along a narrow strip dividing the French and English sides of town, and cope with discrimination and the Depression. Stories of soup kitchens, the growth of mutual aid societies,the building of the Jewish General Hospital, and Zionist and Socialist sports clubs. Promenading along Park Avenue, seeing Maurice Schwartz at the Monument-National, climbing Mt. Royal, the lights, the shadows… and a war in the offing.
