Sharon Delmendo: Quezon developed an affinity for the Jews because he felt that there was a symbolic brotherhood between Filipinos and Jews, as the Filipinos were the recipients of racial discrimination and bigotry on the part of many Americans at the time and the Jews were similarly the recipients of bigotry by the Nazis. Even though Quezon had extremely important political and economic issues to wrestle with at this time, he was willing to take a stand to help the Jews.

CBCfanzine: The Jewish and Filipino communities of Winnipeg have contributed so much good to the city. They are very much a big part of what makes Winnipeg, well Winnipeg. There’s no other city quite like it in Canada, and I say that as a jealous resident of Ottawa!
