History / Biographical
Born in 1899, Adrien Arcand was the leader of a French-Canadian antisemitic movement in the 1930s, the Parti National Social Chrétien (National Social Christian Party), which, under his leadership, later merged with other fascist groups to form the National Unity Party. He published and/or wrote for numerous antisemitic publications such as Le Miroir, Le Goglu, Le Fasciste Canadien, L'Unité Nationale, and Serviam. He fought against Jewish rights in education and was interned by the Canadian government during WWII, from 1940-1945. After his release he continued his antisemitic and political activities. He died in 1967.

History / Biographical
Solomon Abel came to Canada from Russia via the United States, entering Canada in 1907. His six children (as of 1914) included daughter Annie, whose school documents are in this collection. Another daughter was the mother of Jack Silverstone, the donor. Mr Silverstone was the Executive Vice-President of Canadian Jewish Congress. These early immigration and school documents, all originals, are important for their display potential - one includes a photo and describes the subject's profession and Hebrew marriage.
Custodial History
The collection was donated by Mr. Jack Silverstone.
