- Admin History/Bio
- Following the outbreak of the Second World War, German and Austrian citizens living in Britain were arrested and interned in prison camps in Canada and Australia. Some of these internees were Jewish. Canadian Jewish Congress lobbied the Canadian government to release Jewish prisoners and provided social assistance and employment for those freed. Although this was a national effort, the project operated out of the Toronto (Central Region) office; consequently, the case files formed part of the Central Region's records.
