“A brilliant work of history.” - Leonard Dinnerstein (The Globe and Mail) “Irving Abella and Harold Troper have done a superb job of unearthing this sorry chapter in our hidden history. The general outlines were dimly known before, but by exhaustively pursuing primary sources they have documented the details with chilling precision.” - William French (The Globe and Mail) “[A] heart-rending book.” - Carol Goar (The Toronto Star) “An exceedingly powerful and detailed examination of the application of an illiberal immigration policy by an equally illiberal government so as to exclude from this country the oppressed, persecuted Jews...Abella and Troper have produced an enormously vigorous and diligently prepared description and analysis of what must be the most inhumane period in the history of Canadian immigration policy.” - Gerald E. Dirks (Canadian Journal of Political Science) “The definitive study of our pre-war treatment of Jews.” - Bob Harvey (Canadian Journal of Political Science) "If Canada and particularly its immigration policies now indeed live up to its positive image, this book was an important catalyst of the change. It remains as relevant as it was years ago."- Walter D. Kamphoefner (Society for German-American Studies)
