Adara Goldberg’s HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS IN CANADA highlights the resettlement experiences of survivors and explores how the ability to adapt to a new country was facilitated and impeded by local communities and Jewish social service organizations.
On #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay, read the accounts of those who survived Nazi persecution and settled in Canada after the war – a period of unprecedented immigration that would become a watershed moment in Canadian Jewish history.
The jury writes that, “Fraser’s deeply researched and intellectually rigorous work draws on her Dinjii Zhuh (Gwich’in) traditional knowledge and sensitively conducted oral histories to create a striking and original contribution to the literature related to Indian Residential Schools.”
Congratulations to Crystal Gail Fraser for being awarded the 2025 Governor General’s History Award for Scholarly Research prize for BY STRENGTH, WE ARE STILL HERE!
