Us and Them: A Memoir of Tribes and Tribulations by Sid Tafler – originally launched at the Fisher Building as a paperback – is now available as an ebook at Amazon, Kobo, Apple, Smashwords and Barnes & Noble.
The book by Sid Tafler, is about growing up Jewish in Montreal in the 1950s and ‘60s, as the country gradually evolved from an era of open discrimination to a place of acceptance and tolerance. It includes a chapter about Sid’s arrival in Victoria and involvement with our shul. Us and Them is especially relevant today as the Quebec government plans to prevent Jews and other minorities from wearing religious symbols at public workplaces.
