About This Item
Second printing. From the d.j. flap: "In the 15 years following the end of World War II, thousands of Dutch people waved goodbye to their families, friends, past lives and possessions, boarded a ship, and made the long voyage to Halifax, Quebec City or Montreal, where they disembarked as landed immigrants to Canada. Most of them had no idea there they were going or what they would find when they got there. Still, they came. Between 1946 and 1982 more than 180.000 people emigrated from The Netherlands to Canada."
"Here are the simple and straightforward words and pictures of a cross section of immigrants who came to Canada, not just for themselves and their children, but because Canada was an ideal place, a country one could dedicate one's life to. Some were disappointed and returned to The Netherlands. Most stayed."
Heavy book, will required extra postage.
