Summary/Abstract: The topic of Jewish emigration from Romania in the before the Second World War and also during said war has not been discussed exhaustively so far. The Jewish emigration from Romania and the immigration into Canada between 1947-1965 has been under discusssion to an even lesser extent. The few Canadian studies that aprroached the Jewish immigration to Canada in the post-war years completely failed to mention the Romanian groups. This study aims to outline in general terms the anti-Semitic context for the exodus of Jewish people in the 1937-1944 period, as well as the Canadian context (implicitly, the one in Montreal) in which, after a short stay in Palestine, the Jewish emigrants of Romanian origin chose to live.
