- Sephardic Oral History Project interview by Marie Berdugo Cohen. Digitized in WAV format in February 2016. Biography: Coty a vécu dans sa famille composée de 5 enfants, de sa grand-mère paternelle et de ses cousins orphelins très jeunes, que ses parents avaient recueillis. Coty parle avec respect et admiration de son père, qui a beaucoup oeuvré pour la communauté juive de Fez. Avec d'autres bénévoles, ils ont créé Talmud Thora en ville nouvelle de Fez en 1955, pour des programmes judaiques intensifiés. Coty a été professeur de français pendant 7 ans dans cette école. Le père de Coty décédé en 1957, cette dernière se retrouva chef de famille à 24 ans. Après une prospection négative en France, Coty, sa mère et ses 2 frères décidèrent d'immigrer au Canada pour rejoindre une soeur déjà installée à Montréal. Surmontant les difficultés du début, Coty retrouva James Dahan et plusieurs leadeurs scouts, avec lesquels elle avait déjà travaillé à Casablanca. En 1970 ils créèrent le département sépharade francophone au Y. Ils s'occupèrent des loisirs des jeunes, et leur donnèrent des cours de formation de cadres. En 1970-75 un grand nombre de jeunes sépharades abandonnèrent le cégep, Coty regrette qu'il n'y ait pas eu d'aide positive à ce moment là, au niveau intellectuel. Coty est marié à un juif ashkénaze anglophone: 'connaître les habitudes, ce n'est pas vivre avec les habitudes ', dit elle. Coty a 2 filles et 1 garçon. Avec Sarah Bénoliel et d'autres femmes, Coty a créé une organisation légale d'aide aux familles nécessiteuses: Ahavat Hessed.

- Group portrait from "Hade" Hey Eighth- Annual YMHA Minstrel Show, 1933. Severel men in blackface makeup dressed as devils. “The minstrel show, or minstrelsy, was an American form of racist entertainment developed in the early 19th century. Each show consisted of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music performances that depicted people specifically of African descent. The shows were performed by mostly white people in make-up or blackface for the purpose of playing the role of black people” and lampooning them. Read more at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minstrel_show “Contrary to popular belief, blackface minstrelsy was a popular form of entertainment in Canada, much as it was in the United States.” Read more at McGill’s Arts Against PostRacialism site: https://www.mcgill.ca/aapr/blackface-canada
