In the fall of 1938, we emigrated to Canada and settled on farms near Hamilton, Ontario. I am offering this story of the immigration from farms in Czechoslovakia to farms in Canada as a corrective: first, to the general notion that Central European Jews were anything but farmers, and second, to the notion prevalent in the publications of the Leo Baeck Institute, that they tended to be Grossbürger (upper middle class). My father was the leader of a group of thirty-nine people, mostly relatives, who were Jews and farmers in western Bohemia. Farmers were the largest category of immigrants to Canada. We suspected, and our suspicions were confirmed by the well-documented book, None Is Too Many: Canada and the Jews of Europe, by Irving M. Abella and Harold Troper, that the Canadian immigration authorities had hoped to avoid taking in Jews. It does not seem to have occurred to them that there were Jewish farmers.
