Who gets in : an immigration story / Norman Ravvin. by Ravvin, Norman, 1963- University of Regina Press, 2023.

ISBN:  9780889779228 (pbk.) Description:  266 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "An eye-opening account of the Jewish immigration experience in the 1930s, and one man's battle against anti-Semitic immigration policies. In 1930, a young Jewish man, Yehuda Yosef Eisenstein, arrived in Canada from Poland to escape persecution and the rise of nazism in the hopes of starting a new life for himself and his family. Like countless others who made this journey from 'non-preferred' countries, Eisenstein was only granted entry because he claimed to be single -- only to discover his wife and children were unable to follow. For years, he was given two choices: remain in North America alone, or return home to Poland to be with his family. Born from years of archival research, 'Who Gets In' is author Norman Ravvin's deeply personal family memoir, telling the story of his grandfather's resolute struggle against xenophobic and anti-semitic government policies. Ravvin also provides a shocking exposé of the true character of nation-building in Canada and directly challenges its reputation as a benevolent, tolerant, and multicultural country."
