History / Biographical: Golda (nee Szwarcenberg) Cukier was born in a small Polish town near Lublin. She attended the University of Lvov until the war interrupted her studies. When the Russian army was pushed eastward, Cukier left with them, moved first to Ukraine and then to a labour camp in northern Turkestan. She later worked on a state farm in southern Turkestan teaching at a Polish school. Mordecai (Martin) Cukier was born in 1907 and met Golda in 1945. A year after their marriage they were repatriated back to Poland and lived in Breslaw for several years. In 1949, the couple moved to Montreal where they had family. Mr. Cukier was active in Labour-Zionist organizations. Golda worked as a librarian at the Jewish Public Library for over 25 years and was largely responsible for the archival collections as well as the growth of the Jewish Canadiana ephemeral collection.
