A century of the Canadian Jewish press, 1880s-1980s

Discusses, among other subjects, the Canadian Jewish press's coverage of antisemitism in Canada (particularly in Quebec). The first Jewish newspaper (the "Jewish Times") was published in December 1897 in order to defend Jews against malignant statements circulated by the newspapers at the time of the Dreyfus case. Relates to discriminatory practices before World War II, the immigration restrictions against Jewish Holocaust refugees, the improved opportunities for Jews after the war, and the reactions to the trials of Ernst Zundel and Jim Keegstra.
