- History / Biographical
- Max Shenkman came to Canada in 1892. With little knowledge of English he found work assisting in the construction of the inter-provincial bridge spanning Ottawa to Hull (now Gatineau). He turned to peddling with a horse and wagon for his livelihood until he secured a job with the public works department in 1910. Max married Dora Slack in 1905. Dora played a strong and active role in the small Jewish community. She was an ardent worker and a founding member of Hadassah, B'nai B'rith, and the Sisterhood of the Adath Jeshurun Congregation. Max was also an active member of the community. Max died February 12, 1941. Max and Dora raised four sons; Benjamin Paul, Samuel, Abraham Irving and Harold. The youngest, Harold served with the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. He worked with the department of Agriculture for 33 years. He met Belle Gubler, a pianist, during a recital at Chateau Laurier and they married in 1949. They had two children together, son William and daughter Dasha. Harold and Belle divorced in 1960 and Harold then married Louise Popplau. ***FONDS NEED FACT CHECKING - The names Harold and Joe have been used interchangably. Harold and Joe are cousins. Shirley Berman seems to think that Harold's father is "Wolfe" Harold and his brothers attended Lisgar Collegiate and in 1993, in their memory, Joe established the Shenkman Award for Business Studies. He also created the Max and Dora Shenkman Memorial Fund, the Abraham Irving Shenkman Yiddish Scholarship Fund and the Ottawa Historical Society Fund. Joe was fond of and donated generously to the YM-YWCA and the Boys and Girls Club. "He was a very quiet person, a lot of his donations were anonymous," said his son William. Joe was a real estate magnate, earning a multi-million dollar fortune. He died March 15, 1998.
