This article examines the humanitarian internationalism of the Jewish Labour Committee of Canada (JLC) between 1938 and 1952. Throughout WWII, the JLC sent aid to European resistance movements, and in its aftermath participated in the “garment workers’ schemes,” a series of immigration projects that resettled thousands of displaced persons in Canada. Undertaken independently by the Jewish-Canadian community, with the assistance of trade unions, the projects worked to overcome tight border restrictions and early Cold War realpolitik. In doing so, the JLC united Jewish institutions, trade unionists, social democrats, and anti-fascists across Europe and North America. It also acted in a pivotal moment in the evolution of Canada’s refugee system and domestic attitudes toward racism. As such, the JLC’s history is a microcosm for the shifting nature of relations between Jews, Canada, and the left writ large.   Cet article examine l’internationalisme humanitaire du Jewish Labour Committee du Canada (JLC) entre 1938 et 1952. Tout au long de la Deuxieme Guerre mondiale, le JLC a envoye de l’aide aux mouvements de resistance europeens et a participe, apres l’armistice, aux « garment workers’ schemes », une serie de projets d’immigration qui ont permis de reinstaller des milliers de personnes deplacees au Canada. Entrepris independamment par la communaute juive canadienne et avec l’aide de syndicats, ces projets ont permis de surmonter les restrictions frontalieres et la realpolitik du debut de la guerre froide. Ce faisant, le JLC a reuni des institutions juives, des syndicalistes, des sociaux-democrates et des antifascistes de toute l’Europe et de l’Amerique du Nord. Il a egalement agi a un moment charniere de l’evolution du systeme canadien d’octroi de l’asile et des attitudes de la population a l’egard du racisme. En tant que telle, l’histoire du JLC est un microcosme de la nature changeante des relations entre les Juifs, le Canada et la gauche au sens large.
