Unedited interview prepared for broadcast in the CBC radio series VOICE OF THE PIONEER of Jack Azer of Sydney, Nova Scotia. Azer talks about: his family history; his immigration to Canada; his Jewish-Polish background; the hardships faced by Polish Jews who were escaping persecution in their homeland; his work as a pedlar and his working his way up in the world until he was able to open a store in Sydney with his brother after the Second World War; people he knew in the Sydney area; the treatment he received from people in the area, some of whom have been kind and others anti-semitic; the Jewish community in Cape Breton; and his views about Canada and Canadians.
