He arried in Canada in 1941 after spending some time in Japan. In Montreal Grossman was active in Bund, Workmen's Circle, YIVO, Jewish Public Library, the Reisen School where he was principal. Most of all he was active in the Yiddish Committee, whose Bulletin he wrote and published for many years. Grossman wrote essays and articles in the Keneder Adler and in several Yiddish journals.
