SYNOPSIS: We tend to think of Canada as a compassionate, open country to which refugees from other countries have always been welcome. Yet, as historians Abella and Troper conclusively demonstrate, in the years 1933 to 1948, when the Jews of Europe were looking for a place of refuge from Nazi persecution, Canada effectively shut the door. Out of the millions of refugees, Canada admitted a paltry 5, 000. In a world which was decidedly inhospitable to refugees, Canada's record was the worst. Employing a richness of archival and hitherto unavailable source material-written and oral-Abella and Troper trace the origins and results of Canadian immigration policies towards Jews. Whether it was Mackenzie King's efforts to placate anti-Semitic Quebec politicians under the guise of national unity, the racist sentiments of Canada's director of immigration, or the flirtation of Canada's high commissioner to London, Vincent Massey, with the pro-German Cliveden set, the forces against admitting Jews to Canada were pervasive, articulate, and inexorable. Canadian participation in the crisis of European Jewry is set forth in harrowing detail: in the voyage to nowhere of German Jews on the luxury liner St. Louis-"The Voyage of the Damned"; in the sham of the international refugee conferences at Evian and Bermuda; in the attempts to rescue Jewish children from Vichy France; and in the post-war effort to limit the immigration of Holocaust survivors. None is Too Many is a rigorously documented, brilliantly researched account of a shameful period in Canadian history when the country continually ducked chance after chance to save European Jewry from Nazi genocide. It is certain to be one of the most discussed books of the year.
