History / Biographical
Cantor Moshe Kraus was born August 15th, 1923, in Uzhhorord, a Czechoslovakian border town, now part of Ukraine. He was the eldest of nine children born to Myer and Henya Kraus. He and his family were Hasidic Jews. At the age of 8, his beautiful singing voice was discovered and he began singing at Shabbat services and giving concerts. He eventually went on to receive professional training at the Vienna Conservatory. He was there in November 1938 during Kristallnacht. At 18, Kraus was hired as the chief cantor of Sighet, a Hungarian town with five synagogues. As cantor, he led the community in prayer and song at every Jewish event. A young man named Elie Wiesel sang in his choir; the two would become lifelong friends. In 1942, at the age of 19, he became the chief cantor of Budapest, Hungary. In 1943, Kraus was deported to work in Bor labour camp, at a Serbian copper mine. He was there for nine months before being sent to a coal mining camp in southwestern Poland, Katowice. From there, he was shipped to Bergen-Belsen in northern Germany wheer he became prisoner A855. Kraus sang to lift people’s spirits and performed for his fellow prisoners, including those in the women’s barracks. Kraus was so weak that he couldn’t get out of bed by the time British forces liberated Bergen-Belsen on April 15, 1945. He weighed just 35 kilograms. The last thing he remembers is a British soldier picking him up, and shouting, ‘Victory! Victory!” He woke up in hospital. After he recovered, Kraus went to work for a Jewish relief organization, then returned to Bucharest in search of his family. There he learned that his father, mother and five of his siblings had all been murdered by the Nazis. Despondent, Kraus moved to British-controlled Palestine and joined the Israeli army, where he learned to assemble and disassemble tanks. He was later asked to become the IDF’s first chief cantor. Kraus spoke six languages, Kraus and his wife moved to Ottawa in 1975, when he was hired as cantor at Congregation Beth Shalom. He retired as a full-time cantor in 1980, but continued to give concerts and was a regular feature at National Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremonies and other special events. Cantor Moshe Kraus passed away at home on Monday, May 29, 2023 after a brief illness.

History / Biographical
The MS St. Louis was a German diesel-powered transatlantic liner which was used as a luxury cruise ship for the Hamburg-America Line which regularly sailed from Hamburg to Halifax and New York. In 1939, the MS St. Louis was carrying over 900 German Jewish refugees when it was refused entry in Cuba, the United States and Canada and forced to return to Europe. The ship departed from Hamburg on May 13th, 1939, captained by Gustav Schroder. Most of the 937 passengers were Jewish, and were in possession of what they believed to be legal landing permits for Cuba which they planned to use temporarily before obtaining American visas. In reality, Cuban immigration official Benitez Gonzalez had used his position to sell illegitimate landing permits, which were nullified by the pro-fascist Cuban government amid rising anti-Semitism in Cuba while the MS St. Louis while completing its transatlantic crossing. When the ship arrived in Havana on May 27, 1939, it was not permitted to dock, and was eventually asked to leave Cuban waters with most of the passengers still on board. Captain Schroder, determined not to return his passengers to Germany, sailed around the coast of Florida in hopes that U.S. authorities would permit the refugees entry but instead the ship was trailed by the coast guard and not permitted to approach the shore. Despite appeals from sympathetic American citizens and organizations President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s government refused to allow the refugees to land, citing existing immigration guidelines. Halifax was the last port of asylum available in North America, and while Captain Schroder made no appeals directly to the Canadian government, as the ship’s plight became more widely known within Canada efforts were made to convince Prime Minister Mackenzie King’s government to allow them into the country. Leaders of the Canadian Jewish community made appeals to the government, and a group of 27 prominent Canadian citizens in Toronto led by clergyman and historian George Wrong signed a petition requesting that Prime Minister King provide sanctuary to the refugees. His government’s decision was that the refugees did not qualify as admissible immigrants under Canada’s immigration law, and on June 7th, 1939 Captain Schroder was forced to sail back to Europe where the passengers were dispersed to France, to Belgium, the Netherlands and England. Of the St. Louis passengers who returned to continental Europe, 254 of them died during the Holocaust. Economic hardship caused by the Great Depression as well as anti-Semitism from within Canada had caused Canada to further restrict its already restrictive immigration policies in the 1930s, which prioritized immigrants based on race, ethnicity, occupation and class and was biased against Jewish refugees. As a result, Canada allowed only 5000 Jewish refugees to settle in Canada between 1933 and 1948. Canada’s refusal of the MS St. Louis became a symbol for the country’s record of refusing Jewish refugees during the Second World War. On November 7th, 2018, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered an apology for the federal government’s decision to deny entry to the MS St. Louis, and for the government’s antisemitic policies that denied entry to Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. The apology also acknowledged the continuing existence of antisemitism and Holocaust denial in the twenty-first century. Some of the surviving passengers from the ship were present in the House of Commons during the apology, as was Nimrod Barkan, Israel’s ambassador to Canada.

History / Biographical
Jesse Levine (born October 15, 1987) is an American-Canadian professional tennis player. He achieved his career-high singles rank of World No. 69 on October 1, 2012. Levine represented the United States from 2007 to 2012, but has represented Canada since 2013. As a 13-year-old, in 2001 Levine won the U.S. Clay Court 14 Nationals singles championship, and as a 15-year-old he won the USTA boys' 16s doubles championship with his doubles partner. As a 17-year-old, he won the 2005 Wimbledon boys' doubles championship with his doubles partner. Playing one year of No. 1 singles as a freshman for the University of Florida in 2007, he lost only one match, finishing his career with a 24–1 record. Levine was born in Ottawa, Ontario, and grew up in Ottawa's Centrepointe neighborhood. Levine's father Nathan had played tennis for Penn State. Levine attended Hillel Academy of Ottawa. Off the court Levine keeps kosher at home, and he plays with a Star of David on his chain. He can read and write Hebrew. Levine, along with Dudi Sela, Shahar Pe'er, Sharon Fichman, and Camila Giorgi is one of a number of young Jewish tennis players who are highly ranked. "I have a lot of contact with the Israeli players, like Ram, Erlich, Sela, and Levy. They sometimes ask me when I will play for Israel in the Davis Cup", he said. He also appreciates the Jewish fans who cheer for him. At one tournament, they cheered and shouted out encouragement such as: "Come on, man, your opponent hasn't even had his bar mitzvah yet!" As a youth, Levine took tennis lessons at the Ottawa Athletic Club. He and his family moved to Florida in the US when he was 13 years old, because his younger brother Daniel suffers from ulcerative colitis and the year-round warm weather was much better for him. Levine currently resides in Boca Raton, Florida. He said in 2009 that he at that point considered himself "100% American", saying that if he were to play Davis Cup, it would be for the US.

History / Biographical
Dr. Bernard Norman Barwin is a Canadian gynaecologist and medical professor who was appointed into the Order of Canada in 1997 for having a “profound impact on both the biological and psycho-social aspects of women’s reproductive health.” He was removed from the Order on July 5, 2013. Barwin was born in South Africa. He attended Queen’s University in Northern Ireland to complete his Medical Degree, graduating in 1965. Though director of the High Risk Pregnancy Clinic and co-director of the Ottawa General Hospital's fertility clinic, Barwin left in 1984 because he was not a certified gynaecologist in Canada. He would then establish his own clinic, though still licenced as a general physician. He was the Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Ottawa. He was also one of the founding members of Fertility Self-Help Group (ISSG), which later became the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada. He also founded Canadians for Choice and has been President since 2004. In addition, he was the President of the Canadian Fertility Society, the Planned Parenthood Federation of Canada and Planned Parenthood Ottawa. Despite practicing artificial insemination since 1973, he admitted to professional misconduct after four women were artificially inseminated with the wrong sperm. This would leave the offsprings unwilling ignorant of their male parentage which leaves crucial gaps in their genetic medical history. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario panel revoked his licence to practice for two months and was ruled to cover the $3,650 cost of the disciplinary proceedings. A review of the incidences could find no “evident” reasons for the error.

History / Biographical
David A. Golden (b.1920 in Winnipeg, Manitoba) lived much of his life in Ottawa and died in Victoria, British Columbia, on July 20 2012, at the age of 92. He was a lawyer and the first president of Telesat - a company which has been a leader in satellite communications since the birth of the industry. In 1972, the first Canadian satellite, Anik A1, was launched and became the first commercially operated domestic satellite in geostationary orbit. David Golden was the first person to make a telephone call from Ottawa to the far North - an area of the nation previously not serviceable by the microwave towers used by telephone companies up to that time. In 1980, Golden became chairman of the board of Telesat. At the beginning of World War II, Golden was planning to move to England as a Rhodes Scholar, but he instead joined the Canadian Army and spent much of the war as a prisoner of the Japanese. Postwar, he returned to Ottawa, joined the public service, and three years later was named the deputy minister of Defense Production. He left this post shortly after the controversial cancellation of the Avro Arrow project. He became chair of the Parliamentary Centre for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, and served as chairman of the board for Carleton University and in 1969 began his career in satellite development. Golden was made an Officer of the Order of Canada, and received honorary doctorates from Carleton University and the University of Manitoba. He was the guest of honor at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa in 2010, and received the John H. Chapman Award from the Canadian Space Program for his contributions to that field.

History / Biographical
Sylvia Nathanson (Bronsther) was the first Jewish female baby to be born at the Ottawa Civic Hospital on January 2, 1925. Bert Bronsther was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on July 23, 1925. He moved to Montreal with his mother when he was 11. It was his involvement with AZA that led him to Ottawa, where he went on a blind date, and met his future wife Sylvia Nathanson. While Bert was serving oversees during World War II, as a corporal and in the army service corps, Sylvia would send him cigarettes from Ottawa. He sold them on the black market and bought her a diamond in Amsterdam. He mailed her the diamond hidden in a pillow with $100 to have it set, which she did at Birks. Bert was discharged from the army on June 6, 1946 and they were married at Adath Jeshuran Synagogue on June 20, 1946. After the war, Bert worked at Molson Brewery and then held a clerk position with National Defense. He left the government to work in the business of Sylvia’s father, Sam’s Pawn Shop at 41 William Street. Bert, with Sylvia’s brother, eventually took over the business. Sylvia and Bert have two children, Phil and Carol Ann (Cowitz), both live in Ottawa. Sylvia is a member of the Sinai Chapter of Hadassah Wizo and an active member of AJA50+. Bert Bronsther died on December 12, 2010.

History / Biographical
Sophie Soil was born in 1935, in Iasi, Romania. After surviving the Holocaust and the Communist takeover, her family immigrated to Canada from Romania in 1948, following more than a year of being displaced persons in Hungary and Austria. She has been writing for more than twenty years. Mrs. Soil is an artist/ craftperson and is a widely-published poet in various books, magazine and periodicals. She has won many prizes for her work, among them two Pushcart nominations. She has two chapbooks published by Passion Among the Cacti Press and and two full collections published by Publish America. Her personal chronologies are written in freeform verse poignantly spinning autobiographical tales of her sometimes harsh and inconceivable childhood spent in those war-torn years and through the catastrophe that was the Holocaust. Mrs. Soil also holds herbalist and master herbalist degrees, and is a writer of alternative health material. She lives in Toronto with her husband of 61 years. (Source: author's bio., 2014)

History / Biographical
Akiva School is a private Montreal Jewish day school founded in 1968 by Rabbi Dr. David Hartman and a group of parents. The school's original location was at the Snowden YM-YWHA, located on the corner of Westbury and Cote Ste-Catherine. After moving from its Snowden location to the Beth El Synagogue in Town of Mount Royal, the school experienced several years of declining enrollment and budgetary restraints. In 1988, the school moved again, this time to the school building attached to the Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue. A more central location, coupled with new leadership, stabilized the school and rapid growth soon followed. The school was founded on a vision of being a community that "inspires lifelong learning, religious growth, an enduring connection to the Jewish people and the State of Israel, and a commitment to making the world a better place." Akiva school offers education from kindergarten to grade six, following provincial curriculum as well as Judaic Studies (including Hebrew). A Section Francaise was added to the school to accomodate students who did not meet provincial elgibility requirements for an English school certificate. As of 2009, the school had an enrollment of 350 students.
