Notes	1.802 refugees of mostly Jewish descent were registered on index cards. However, as not all refugees were registered via such cards, the actual number of "interned refugees" is assumed to be 2.533. All in all only 6.000 refugees (4.000 thereof Jewish) found refuge in Canada pre-World War Two (see Abella & Troper 1979, 181). Ca. 500-700 refugees were from Austria.
