- Notes
- This 77 page photograph album was a gift to Mrs. Freiman's son, Lawrence Freiman, on the occasion of his Bar Mitzvah by Mr. Harry Hershman. In 1920 a campaign was launched in Montreal to bring immigrant orphans from the Ukraine to Canada. These were children who had lost their parents in the bloody pogroms of 1919. Ottawa's Lillian Freiman took charge of this project. She convened a conference of the city's Jewish community leaders where it was decided to bring over as many orphans as possible, she then traveled to cities across Canada to make an appeal on the orphans behalf. During this time she also worked to plan the campaign with Montreal's Harry Hershman, a representative of the People's Relief Committee and a prominent member of the Jewish War Orphans' Committee of Canada. Together, with the support of the committees, they succeeded in settling 146 Ukrainian war orphans in Canadian homes in 1921. That this was done through the offices of a few dedicated Jews, and by agency of an ethnic constituency held at arm’s length from the Canadian community at large, presents a revealing dimension of Canada’s immigration and social history — a dimension that has yet to be acknowledged outside ethnic circles.

- 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.
