Introduction

The Research guide to Holocaust-related holdings at Library and Archives Canada (LAC) provides an introduction to our holdings. In keeping with the example set by

such institutions as the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre and the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, this guide includes holdings related to the Holocaust in

its widest definition. It includes records related to a broad range of events and decisions before, during and after the Second World War. The records documented in this guide cover the pre-war refugee crisis, the internment of Jewish refugees in

Canada, the immigration of displaced persons, the postwar prosecution of Nazi war criminals and the creative responses that the Holocaust engendered in artists,

writers, filmmakers and others, amongst many other events. This guide includes archival and published sources. It covers both official records

that reflect responses to the Holocaust by the government of the day, as well as personal accounts of the Holocaust and the complex ways in which it affected

society in the post-war decades. Archival records, by nature, are described and arranged according to who created

them, rather than by subject. Due to the amount of records preserved by archival institutions, archival records are also frequently described at a general level, rather

than by individual item. For these reasons, research by subject is rarely comprehensive. Researchers should note that resources relevant to the Holocaust, but not mentioned in this guide, may therefore also be part of LAC’s holdings. To

conduct further research, please consult the LAC website.

Similarly, due to the vast number of publications in LAC’s library holdings that pertain to the Holocaust and its global impact, the published references listed here are also only a sampling of relevant publications, intended to give the researcher an

idea of the types of less commonly found publications available, or those with a Canadian angle such as memoirs of Canadian Holocaust survivors. The focus of the

bibliography is on the holdings of The Jacob M. Lowy Collection, a renowned collection of Hebraica and Judaica comprising of over 3,000 volumes from the 15th to the 20th century. Amongst the works cited in this guide are rare and special

editions either published during the Second World War or in its close aftermath.

LAC’s Mandate

As set out in the Library and Archives of Canada Act, LAC is mandated to facilitate access to Canada’s documentary heritage, and to make that heritage known to

Canadians and to anyone with an interest in Canada. LAC’s Access Policy Framework (2011) aims to make all of its documentary heritage holdings

discoverable, available, and accessible to the greatest extent possible. This research guide supports LAC’s access objectives by providing an overview of

documentary heritage holdings related to the Holocaust. As a Government of Canada institution however, LAC works within existing federal legislation,

regulations, and policies (e.g., Library and Archives of Canada Act, Copyright Act, Access to Information Act, Privacy Act, etc.). For this reason, access to holdings in this guide may require special permissions or be subject to an access review under

applicable legislation.

Conducting research at LAC

How to use this guide

This guide provides references to resources held at LAC. Most references are linked

to LAC’s catalogues, where further information about the resource will be found. In most cases, you will not be able to access the actual resource without requesting a

copy or by visiting in person.

This guide should be considered as a starting point for research into Holocaust-related resources at LAC, and researchers should note that many more resources do exist in LAC’s holdings. These can be consulted through an in-person visit or by

hiring a freelance researcher to conduct research on your behalf.

How to use LAC’s online search tools

Further resources may be identified by researchers through an extensive search using our online tools.

The principal database for searching for archival references is available at: Archives Search—Advanced.

The more precise a search is, the better the search results will be. For instance, if

you are interested in the case of a Jewish refugee who was in an internment camp in Canada, you may not find his/her name in our search tools. However, if you know where and when he/she was interned (e.g. at Ile-aux-Noix in 1940–1941), a

search of the place name during that time period may give you a starting point for locating relevant records.

Researchers should note that archival records are usually described in a hierarchical manner, beginning with general descriptions of large groups of records, such as

fonds or collections. Fonds and collections are often divided into smaller groups of records, such as series, that provide additional contextual information. If lists of

files or items (the lowest levels of description, also referred to as finding aids) exist in digital form, they will be linked to higher levels of description in LAC’s database.

To mine LAC’s published references beyond those listed in this guide, it would be useful to use AMICUS, the cooperative online catalogue of Library and Archives

Canada and 1,300 other institutions. Searching AMICUS by standard Library of Congress Subject Headings, in English

(e.g. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945; Holocaust survivors) or standard Repertoire de vedettes-matières, in French (e.g., Holocauste, 1939–1945; Survivants de

l'Holocauste) would be useful, in addition to keyword searches. Most subject headings are analyzed in more depth with geographic or other

subdivisions: (e.g., Holocaust, Jewish (1939–1945) -- Hungary -- Personal narratives/Holocauste,

1939–1945 -- Hongrie -- Récits personnels; War Criminals—Canada/Criminels de guerre--Canada). Books represented by AMICUS records often contain relevant

subject headings that would be useful for further searches.

Language of material

Most of the archival resources mentioned in this guide are in English, although some files may contain documents in other languages. A few of the audiovisual

resources are in French. The published references include many Yiddish and Hebrew sources, in addition to English and some French and Polish ones. For the citations of published references in Yiddish or Hebrew in this guide, as well as in the

bibliographic records in AMICUS, the LC-ALA Romanization [PDF 128 KB] table is used. For this guide, some of the diacritics have been omitted. Publications in

English and French from the 1970s onward tend to be listed by author and title, whereas older books, especially those in Yiddish and Hebrew tend to have more complete bibliographic citations. The imprint and publication date are of significance

and a more complete reference will help the reader quickly identify the work. In all cases, a link to the relevant AMICUS record is provided.

Access conditions

Researchers should note that many archival resources are subject to some form of restriction on access and use. LAC works within federal legislation, regulations, and policies, including the Library and Archives of Canada Act, Copyright Act, Access to

Information Act, and Privacy Act. Access to holdings in this guide may require special permissions or be subject to an access review under applicable legislation.

Government of Canada records

Access to all records created or maintained by the Government of Canada is governed by the specific regulations and exemptions found in the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. If a record is opened, it is marked “code 90:

Open” in the online entries. If the record remains closed, it is marked code 32: Restricted by law. Records that have not previously been requested and therefore

have not yet been reviewed remain closed and marked code 32. Those that are presently closed under the two Acts, with the marking code 32, can still be requested and reviewed for disclosure. For further information on reviewing closed

records, please consult LAC’s website.

Private records

Records donated by private individuals or organizations may also carry restrictions

on access and use. Codes for private records include code 90: Open; 18: code Restricted by creator/donor; or code 10: Closed. A group of records may also

have the code 96: Restrictions vary, when a combination of the first three codes is applicable. When records are restricted or closed, there will be further details on the nature of the access conditions at the fonds or collection-level description of the

records. It may be possible to consult restricted records, either through signing a restricted access form or obtaining permission from donors. For records that are

closed, the fonds or collection-level description will include information on when the records are expected to be open.

Nazi persecution of the Jewish before the Second World War

Government and prime ministerial records

Prior to the Second World War, government files and records reflect the experience of Jewish immigrants trying to enter Canada at the time. The government bodies

referenced here include the Department of External Affairs (RG25), the Immigration Branch (RG76) and the Office of the Governor-General (RG7).

Private records

Within Canada, organizations such as the Jewish Labour Committee of Canada and

the Canadian National Committee on Refugees made significant efforts to bring Jewish refugees into the country. Individuals who left Germany in the late 1930s and were ultimately successful in making Canada their home, such as Rabbis Emil

L. Fackenheim and W. Gunther Plaut, contributed immensely to Canadian society in the second half of the 20th century.

Published references

The Bible listed here was published during the first year of the Nazi Party’s rule in

Germany, and its celebrated publication that includes Deuteronomy 33:29 printed in red, “Your enemies shall dwindle away before you…,” signifies an early

perception of the threat posed to Jews by the Nazi rise to power. For further context, see the Library of Congress’s virtual exhibit, Words like Sapphires: 100

Jewish refugees in Canadian internment camps

Some Austrian and German Jews successfully fled Nazi persecution to Britain. In

1940, the British government asked Canada to house these refugees. Due to their nationality, they were classed as “enemy aliens.” The Jewish refugees were interned in Canada’s enemy alien camps. Between 1940 and 1943, more than

2,000 Jewish refugees were interned in Canada. These camps, run by the Department of National Defence, included those at Fredericton, New Brunswick;

Farnham, Quebec; Ile-aux-Noix, Quebec; Sherbrooke, Quebec, Trois-Rivières, Quebec; Cove Fields, Quebec; St. Helen’s Island, Quebec; and Red Rock, Ontario. The records of these camps are found in the Department of National Defence fonds

(RG24).

Some references to these camps have been included below. For more extensive references on files related to these camps in LAC’s holdings, researchers may wish

to consult LAC’s guide on Second World War internment [PDF 8.15 MB].

European Jewish publications during the Holocaust: books from Romania

and Hungary prior to the Nazi occupation

Books primarily on Jewish law, printed from 1939–1943, were among the last

published before the destruction of the communities in these countries. Since Responsa and other works of Jewish law reflect current day concerns, they are

potential sources for insight. Al.tman, Yehudah. She’elot u-teshuvot Me Yehudah. Bal.kani: nidpas bi-defus shel

Books from Shanghai, destination of refugees

Many German Jews fleeing Nazism in the 1930s found refuge in Shanghai, China,

where there was an already existing Jewish community. During the Second World War, Chiune Sugihara, the Japanese diplomat in Kaunas, Lithuania, issued

thousands of transit visas for Jews escaping Europe, including those of the Mir Yeshivah, many of whom also found a relatively safe haven in Shanghai. The refugees numbered around 20, 000 and had been interned by the Japanese in the

Hongkew section of the city. Publication of Jewish books and serial publications in various languages continued nonetheless, and reflected the broad range of interests

and ideology. With the exception of one published reference to a Shanghai imprint in the Liberation section of this guide and another in the Visual, Early Holocaust Photo Documentation section, the scope of this list extends to postwar in order to

keep the Shanghai section an integrated whole.

Continued Jewish immigration to Canada

During the War some Jews found refuge and escape from Nazi occupied Europe.

Although immigration to Canada was still limited, some Jewish refugees did gain entry.

Post War

Liberation

Canadian troops contributed to the liberation of Belgium and the Netherlands,

countries that did not contain concentration camps, but did contain transit camps

where Jews were held before being sent to death camps in the East. The Second

Canadian Infantry Division did liberate Westerbork, a transit camp in the Northeast

Netherlands, which was holding about 1,000 Jewish men and women.

Holocaust assets and restitution

Government records At the end of the War, by international agreement, assets belonging to individuals persecuted by the Nazis were to be returned to their rightful owners or heirs. It is

well documented that the enormity of the Holocaust, followed by the subsequent nationalization of property in Eastern Europe, presented serious obstacles to the

fulfillment of this agreement. Nevertheless, many files within the Records of the Office of the Custodian of Enemy Property, now preserved by LAC, document the theft of property by Axis powers and the efforts by owners and heirs to seek

compensation.

The challenge for the researcher is that the organization of these files by the Custodian does not differentiate between Canadians and foreign nationals, or those

holding Canadian property and those holding property in enemy territories. The claims of many Jewish families are documented in these files, including the Ephrussis, the Rothschilds, and the Bloch-Bauerss. Therefore, the researcher needs

to identify the name of the property holder and search this fond by that name.

Looted and heirless books

The Nazi’s seizure of Jewish books and religious articles began in the late 1930s in Germany and this wasy extended to the occupied territories. In 1940, Alfred

Rosenberg was appointed by Hitler to develop a library to collect “enemy” materials “for the planned educational and research institute of the Party, Hohe Schule, to be located in Chiemsee in Bavaria.” Seized books designated for collection were often

kept in storage in Germany such as the Archival Depot in Offenbach.

In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, the Offenbach Archival Depot was a central collecting and distributing point of books and other cultural materials in the American Zone of Germany. Jewish Cultural Reconstruction, an umbrella

organization, that included leading Jewish Studies scholars, identified collections and, where possible, returned them to institutions that continued to exist such as

the Bibliotheca Rosenthaliana, in Amsterdam. The heirless cultural materials, many of which had belonged to individuals, were distributed to institutions and Jewish communities worldwide, including to the Canadian Jewish Congress. The Canadian

Jewish Congress, in turn, distributed materials within Canada, such as the Winnipeg Jewish Public Library, which were later donated to the Lowy Collection.

Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals [Deschênes Commission]

The Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals, also known as the Deschênes Commission, was an independent Commission of Inquiry established in 1985 to

investigate the charge that a considerable number of Nazi war criminals had gained admittance to Canada through a variety of illegal or fraudulent means. The

Commission was headed by Mr. Jules Deschênes, a Justice of the Court of Appeal of Quebec, and it was given wide powers to conduct its investigation, including the power to travel outside Canada.

The report of the Commission was submitted to the government at the end of 1986,

and the Government tabled the public portion of the Report [Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals, Part 1: Public] on 12 March 1987 together with its response to the recommendations.

The Report recommended amendments to the Criminal Code to make prosecution

possible in Canada, amendments to the Extradition Act and treaties of extradition to facilitate removal of individuals sought by foreign countries for war crimes, and amendments to laws and procedures governing denaturalization (removal of

citizenship) and deportation.
