From the Paper:

"This paper's focus on Oral History has been most helpful in removing a number of assumptions to do with post-World War II labour in Toronto, and an industry that has forever drawn new Canadian workers. Two subjects were interviewed, at length, the first, a now retired person who spent his entire working life in the Canadian hospitality industry. (Schiff ) His background was not working class. Instead, he was a delasse European displaced person who arrived in Toronto as a youth with his mother, in the early 1950s."
