- 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.

- Notes
- 1. L-R: Lillian Freiman, William Shapiro?, William's brother?, Unknown (Possibly an adoptive mother), Nellie Pierce (of Montreal). 2. Nellie went on the ship to Belgium with Lillian and was also very involved with the drive to bring the children over. The elder boy is most likely William Shapiro (as opposed to the younger one), who sent the photo to Lillian at the end of her life with a beautiful and moving letter that stated that the photo was one of his “greatest treasures” and he was sending it to Lillian as “a remembrance of that day.” She got the letter in late August/early September and she passed away a short while later on November 2. 3. The woman holding the younger boy is most likely their new adoptive mother, though it's not entirely certain. The accompanying letter implies that the young boy is William’s brother. 4. He wrote the letter in 1940 and if he was 11 or 12 as he looks in the photo, he would have been about 30 or 31 at that time. 5. The letter and the photograph and the envelope is contained in BOX 1 of the Archibald and Lillian Freiman Family fonds.
