However, between the years 1933 and 1948, when the Jews of Europe were looking for a place of refuge from Nazi persecution, Canada refused to offer aid, let alone sanctuary, to those in fear for their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRigorously documented and brilliantly researched, \u003ci\u003eNone Is Too Many \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of Canada’s response to the plight of European Jews during the Nazi era and its immediate aftermath, exploring why and how Canada turned its back and hardened its heart against the entry of Jewish refugees. Recounting a shameful period in Canadian history, Irving Abella and Harold Troper trace the origins and results of Canadian immigration policies towards Jews and conclusively demonstrate that the forces against admitting them were pervasive and rooted in antisemitism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1983, \u003ci\u003eNone Is Too Many\u003c\/i\u003e has become one of the most significant books ever published in Canada.
