Detailing the country’s refusal to offer aid, let alone sanctuary, to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution between 1933 and 1948, it is an immensely bleak and discomfiting story – and one that was largely unknown before the book’s publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIrving Abella and Harold Troper’s retelling of this episode is a harrowing read not easily forgotten: its power is such that, ‘a manuscript copy helped convince Ron Atkey, Minister of Employment and Immigration in Joe Clark’s government, to grant 50,000 “boat people” asylum in Canada in 1979, during the Southeast Asian refugee crisis’ (Robin Roger, \u003cem\u003eThe Literary Review of Canada\u003c\/em\u003e). \u003cem\u003eNone Is Too Many\u003c\/em\u003e will undoubtedly continue to serve as a potent reminder of the fragility of tolerance, even in a country where it is held as one of our highest values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"By Irving Abella and Harold Troper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55075337044348,"sku":"9781442663848","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781442663848_6fc0b1a3-1c8f-41dd-99e3-ac9fed88f576.jpg?v=1743626411","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/none-is-too-many-6","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
