Scope and content
From 1909-1942, the Jewish community of Montreal supported two orphanages, the Montreal Hebrew Orphans' Home on Claremont Avenue in Westmount (1909-1942), run by the Baron de Hirsch Institute, and the Montefiore Hebrew Orphans' Home on Jeanne Mance Street (1918-1936). Children who entered the orphanages were not necessarily without parents, but sometimes their families were unable to care for them because of extreme poverty. Children were required to leave the orphanage at age 16. The orphanages were first opened to care for Jewish children fleeing Eastern Europe, war and persecution. In 2002, Judy Gordon, who is married to a former resident of the orphanages, researched and wrote a book entitled, "Four Hundred Brothers and Sisters".
Consists of clippings, correspondence, and research and a manuscript regarding the book, "Four Hundred Brothers and Sisters" by Judy Gordon.
