- English abstract
- This article received the 2017-18 Society for the History of Children and Youth Best Article Prize in French. It explores the history of 1000 young Jewish survivors who resettled in Canada after the Second World War. It does so through a unique source: the files compiled by humanitarian workers to assist the young survivors in their visa applications. Through a close reading of this material, this article examines how humanitarian workers tried to make sense of the survivors' experiences of persecution. It sheds light on how extreme violence, trauma, and resilience were understood only a few years after the Holocaust.
