WWII, Jewish immigration to Canada was restricted, although several hundred </span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Austrian and German Jewish refugees (males) were deported from Great Britain and were interned in Eastern Canada;
after a year or two, they were released from the camps. Many of these Austrian Jewish refugees decided to stay in Canada to start a new life. </span></span><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt">In the post-WWII period, when Canada opened its labour market
widely to European immigrants, approximately 34,000 non-Jewish Austrian women and men migrated overseas by 1972. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Furthermore, several hundred Austrian Holocaust survivors resettled in that period (mainly from Great Britain
and Israel) to Canadian provinces for economic reasons, marriage or because of family reunion. This talk will explore the </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">legal constraints and the practice of post-1945 emigration from Austria to Canada,
with special attention given to the individual experiences and the memories of Jewish and non-Jewish Austrian migrants, collected in a series of oral histories.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
