Antisemitism in Canada has affected Canadian Jews ever since Canada’s Jewish community was established in the 18th century.〔Manuel Prutschi, ("Anti-Semitism in Canada" ), Fall 2004. Accessed March 29, 2008.〕〔Dr. Karen Mock, ("Hate Propaganda and Anti-Semitism: Canadian Realities" ), April 9, 1996. Accessed March 29, 2008.〕 ==1930s-1940s== Between 1930 and 1939, Canada rejected almost all Jewish refugees from Nazi Europe, taking in only 4,000 of the 800,000 Jews looking for refuge. sailed from Hamburg in May 1939, carrying 937 Jewish refugees seeking asylum from Nazi persecution.〔 〕 The destination was Cuba, but officials in Havana cancelled Jewish passengers' visas. Jewish immigration was strictly limited in North America, so the passengers were denied entrance to Canada and the United States.〔 Outbreaks of violence against Jews and Jewish property culminated in August 1933 with the Christie Pits riots; six hours of violent conflict between Jewish and Christian youth in Toronto, Ontario. Swastikas and Nazi slogans began to crop up on Toronto’s eastern beaches, and Jewish swimmers were attacked.〔(Remembering Toronto's Christie Pits Riot ) Daniel Bitonti, The Globe and Mail, Aug.9, 2013〕〔(Remembering the Christie Pits riot ) Rosie DiManno, Toronto Star, Aug.10, 2013〕 In 1934, Adrien Arcand started a Parti national social chrétien in Montreal patterned after the Nazi party. His party’s actions resulted in anti-Semitic rallies, boycotts, propaganda and literature, and the inception of several other Nazi-like organizations throughout Canada. Also in 1934, all interns at Hôpital Notre-Dame in Montréal walked off the job to protest the hiring of a Jewish senior intern who had graduated from the Université de Montréal, Dr. Samuel Rabinovitch. The dispute was resolved after several days when the new intern resigned his position. The hospital administration did arrange another internship post for Dr. Rabinovitch in St. Louis, Missouri where he remained until 1940, after which he returned to Montréal and a medical practice.〔(Days of shame, Montreal, 1934 ) Peter Wilton, CMAJ Dec. 9, 2003 vol. 169 no. 12 p.1329〕〔(Doctor was central figure in 1934 hospital strike ) David Lazarus, Canadian Jewish News Nov. 25, 2010〕 In 1938, a National Fascism Convention was held in Toronto's Massey Hall.〔 Anti-semitic residential segregation was also prevalent during the 1930s and 1940s, and was accomplished through restrictive covenants. These were agreements among owners of properties to not sell or rent to members of certain races, including Jews, or were clauses registered against deeds by land developers that restricted ownership based on racial origin. At the time, restrictive covenants could be enforced by the courts.〔 A 1943 Gallup poll put Jews in third place, behind the Japanese and Germans, as the least desirable immigrants to Canada.〔Adelman, Howard and John H. Simpson, eds. Multiculturalism, Jews and Identities in Canada. Jerusalem: Magnes Press, 1996.〕 A 1948 article on anti-Semitism in Canada written for ''MacLean’s'' magazine by Pierre Berton illustrates this racism: Berton hired two young women to apply for the same jobs, one under the name Greenberg, and the other under the name Grimes. While Grimes received interviews for nearly every application, positions available for Grimes were "already filled" when Greenberg applied, or Greenberg’s applications were ignored. When Berton contacted several of these companies, he was told, “Jews did not have the right temperament,” that “they don’t know their place” or that “we don’t employ Jews.”〔 Berton, during his research on Canadian anti-Semitism, sent two different letters to 29 summer resorts, one signed Marshall, the other signed Rosenberg. "Marshall" was able to book twice as many reservations as "Rosenberg." Some resorts did not reply to "Rosenberg", and some told "Rosenberg" they were fully booked.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antisemitism in Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
