Title	Canada
Scope and Content	The Canada Record Group contains eight folders covering the years 1945-1954, divided into three series: Administration, Subject Matter and Organizations. The folders document Jewish Canadian relief efforts in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Correspondence highlights a Canadian Jewish Congress campaign to send relief funds and parcels for survivors in DP camps. In addition, the CJC was active in devising a plan to bring hardcore cases to Canada as well as influencing the Canadian government to send a commission to Europe to choose 2,000 DPs to resettle in Canada with employment opportunities in place. The folders also mention the resettlement of 100 European rabbis in Jewish communities throughout Canada.
