History / Biographical
Anne “Annie” (nee Gertzenberg) Altman (b. Unknown, Toronto - d. August 16, 1975, Toronto) was an Ottawa resident, secretary of the ORT and member of the Ottawa Vaad who was a widow for much of her life. She was born in Toronto and had four sisters; Dorothy Rosen, Florence Fruchtman, Billie Gertzen, and Clara Snitman. After her marriage to Phillip Altman, Anne lived for several years in Geraldton, Ontario, before eventually moving to Ottawa, where she lived in Old Ottawa South. Anne and Phillip had one son, Dr. Edward “Eddie” Altman, who graduated with a Masters degree from Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland in 1962, and eventually moved to San Jose, California. Anne was known in the Ottawa Jewish Community for her generous and kind spirit, and sense of humour. She worked as a secretary for the Ottawa Women’s ORT for over 20 years, from 1948 until at least the late 1960s. She was also a member of the Ottawa Vaad, where she worked for 25 years as a secretary and calendar coordinator, among other roles. Anne was a member of the Ruth-Eilat Chapter of Hadassah-Wizo, and she contributed to charitable causes in the Ottawa area, including the Jewish Community Centre Library. After her death in 1975, the Anne Altman Memorial Fund was established through the Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation by Anne’s friends, the income from which was intended to fund initiatives that she had been passionate about during her life.
