The tailor project : how 2,500 Holocaust survivors found a new life in Canada / Andrea Knight, Paula Draper, and Nicole Bryck ; introduction by Harold Troper.
This is the story of a remarkable program that gave approximately 2,500 Jewish tailors and their families a new life in North America. Between 1948 and 1949, Canada, for the first time in history, opened its doors to the immigration of many Jewish people, offering employment and freedom through the Garment Workers' Scheme. This book weaves together their stories. How they were able to thrive in a new country after years of persecution and displacement is a moving portrait of strength, survival, and triumph.
