Examines the years immediately following World War II and states that Canadian Jews were not psychologically equipped to comprehend the enormity of the Holocaust. Demonstrates that with the politicization of the survivors and the maturation of the post-war generation of Canadian Jews in the 1980s, the memory of the Holocaust became a pillar of ethnic identity.
