Montreal's Jewish Neighbourhood of Papineau
 

During the last half of 2007 in Ottawa, my father Philip Teitelbaum recounted his memories of the Montreal
neighbourhood known as Papineau, during the time he grew up there. He arrived in 1927 at the age of three
and lived there until he was 18. I taped his accounts and stories; my sons-in-law provided the street map and photos.

Most of the people living in Papineau were Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe. The neighbourhood consisted 
of Papineau Avenue, and the adjacent streets, mainly between St Zotique and Bellechasse.

I have been receiving emails from many Papineau people, their children and grandchildren. Their accounts, photographs
and documents are being added to this website. Please send in yours.
