History / Biographical
Benjamin Feinstein (b. October 17, 1898 - d. March 23, 2001) escaped from Russia to Romania en route to Palestine at the age of 21. He left behind his parents and nine siblings. Benjamin never made it to Palestine; after four years in Romania he came to Canada in 1924 as a refugee and first settled in Winkler, Manitoba. He spent six years in Manitoba during which time he met and married Freda Dickstein and had two daughters Miriam (Levitin) and Ruth (Aaron). The family then moved to Ottawa where the Feinstein's owned and operated a grocery store. In Ottawa a third daughter Pearl (Moskovic) and son Abraham were born. Benjamin maintained contact with his family back in the Ukraine, sending money and clothing. His family had lost everything in the pogroms and were grateful for the help. He continued to support his family until the Second World War, when his parents, two youngest sisters and several cousins were killed. Two brothers also died as soldiers. In October 1999, Benjamin Feinstein celebrated his 101st birthday and was reunited with his sister Sarra Pyatigorsky after 80 years apart. The event made local and national news. Benjamin Feinstein passed away in March, 2001. Son Abraham Feinstein (b. December 19, 1936) worked as a camp counselor for Camp B'nai B'rith beginning in the 1950s, studied psychology and law at Carleton University, worked for Soloway Wright LLP, and was recognized with awards from the County of Carleton Law Association. (See academic paper by Linsey Rains "Abraham Feinstein: Reluctant Advocate" for more details.)
