Co-Sponsored Event in association with The Canadiana Department, North York Central Library

Harold Troper will present an illustrated lecture exploring immigrant Jewish life in Toronto from the turn of the last century until the depression. Using images from the day, he will track the geographic shift in Jewish immigrant residential concentration from the Ward westward into the Kensington area. He will also touch on issues of housing, work, children, street life, organization building, discrimination and social interaction with the non-Jewish community.
