- Double-sided page, two holes punched on left edge, staple punctures on top, portrait of cardholder with embossed seal of the Supreme Court on bottom left, creased horizontally and vertically, entitled Affidavit In Lieu of A Passport. Lists seven sworn statements of identity by the card holder, along with a basic physical description. Used as a temporary passport for stateless refugees, valid for one approved journey. Stamps on back contain information about trip. Fanny Isselbacher used this affidavit to visit her brother-in-law because she had not yet re-acquired Canadian citizenship. Fanny Azeff was born a Canadian citizen. She lost her citizenship because her husband, Herbert, was stateless. Narrative: Isaac Herbert Isselbacher was born 1919-11-20 in Isselbach, Germany. His brother was Helmut Isselbacher, born 1921-12-20. Their father was Jacob Isselbacher, born 1883-08-05. They had an uncle and aunt, David and Betty Loewenstein, who lived in New York City with their two children. Isaac left Germany on 1939-07-29, hoping to join his relatives in NYC. He only had the time to get to London, England before the war broke out and started working in a factory. He was arrested at his workplace as an ‘enemy alien’ and sent to Canada for internment in 1940. Isaac was interned in Camp N in Sherbrooke, Quebec. He was drafted into the Works Program Division for woodworking and net-making. In 1940, he received a last letter from his parents which suggested their imminent deportation. After his release, circa November 1942, Isaac worked as a locksmith. He married Fanny Azeff on 1943-12-26 at the Bnai Jacob synagogue in Montreal. Fanny was born on 1921-12-23 in Canada, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Azeff. Isaac was naturalized as a Canadian citizen on 1946-06-08. Fanny was naturalized on 1946-08-30 (she had lost her citizenship by marrying Isaac). Isaac’s brother, Helmut Isselbacher, was deported with Transport XXII A from Dossin casern in Mechelen (Malines), Belgium to Auschwitz Birkenau, Poland on 1943-09-20. Of the 2,450 people on the transport, 100 men were selected to work –including Helmut- and the remainder prisoners were gassed. Helmut was made to work as a welder, and was soon fitting new pipes for the gas chamber. He suffered a nervous breakdown as a result. As he was a valued welder, he was transferred to a labour camp in Upper Silesia (Poland) where he remained for two years. As the Russian army advanced, the 6,000 prisoners of this camp were evacuated by train. Helmut remembered being forced to march as the other prisoners died from exhaustion. When liberation was announced, the survivors travelled by ship from Luebeck, Germany, to Sweden with the aid of the Red Cross. After recovery, Helmut decided to remain in Sweden as a welder. Upon learning of his brother’s survival, Helmut travelled to New York in April 1946 to meet with him and their Loewenstein relatives. Afterwards, Helmut travelled to Canada bringing with him a washing machine and bras as late wedding presents for his brother and Fanny. By 1946-08-12, their parents were presumed dead and the two sons inquired into their estate. They received a deed for the land and travelled to the estate to discover that the current owner of their house was their old maid and her son had become the town mayor. Various disputes arose with the current ‘owners’ who believed the Isselbacher family dead. Isaac wished to discuss a settlement, but the mayor’s mother –not realizing Fanny understood German- called the neighbours at work to warn them not to come home as the Isselbacher sons had resurfaced. Payment for the land had reportedly been sent to Israel, though no documentation could be provided.

- OBITUARIES: Daily Telegraph, April 10, 1922, microfilm # 132 Sudden Death of B.L. Amdur Leader Among Hebrews of This City, Successful Business Man and Former Rabbi Has Passed Away After Short Illness. B.L. Amdur died suddenly at the St. John Infirmary yesterday morning at 8 o’clock after having been ill for three days with pneumonia. Besides his wife, he is survived by one son and four daughters. The children are: Belle, Isadore, Mrs. I. Sydney Isaacs, Ada and Sarah. Mrs. Louis Dautch, of Buffalo, is a sister. The news of the death of Mr. Amdur is a great shock to the community, as comparatively few of his many friends knew of his illness. The late Mr. Amdur was born in Dvinsk, Russia, fifty years ago and was educated in the Riga schools. Twenty-two years ago, he came to America, having accepted the call to officiate as rabbi at the Jefferson street Temple, Buffalo (N.Y.). There he ministered for fifteen years and afterwards was Rabbi at the Bnai Jacob synagogue of Hamilton (Ont.). He then came to this city and was rabbi at the Hazen avenue Synagogue until 1912 when he retired from the ministry and entered business life. He was a talented musician of exceptional ability and conducted a music store in Union street until 1916 with considerable success. Mr. Amdur also was active in real estate ventures and carried on extensive developments at Eastmount, having erected several houses there. In 1916, he initiated a business which, in a comparatively few years, he developed with remarkable success in that from the time of his opening of his first dry goods store in West St. John, he expanded his new business so rapidly that the expansion took place at the rate of one new store opened every year until finally he was operating two stores in West St. John, and two in the city, all located at strategic points in the commercial centre, and all prospering. Lately he adopted the business policy of consolidation and concentration and leaves as a great example of business achievement two large stores in the heart of the city. Probably, in recent years, Mr. Amdur's business success has not been excelled by any other institution in this city. In private life, the late Mr. Amdur's noble character, intimate knowledge of politics, art and music and his genial, kindly manner was an inspiration to his family and won for him in the outside world a wide circle of friends, not only in St. John, but also in other parts of Canada and the eastern parts of the United States. He was held in high regard by the Canadian Jews, being recognized as one of the outstanding leaders and frequently represented this section in national Jewish conferences. Locally he was idolized by his co-religionists and at the time of his death was president of the Jewish congregation of St. John. He was a member of Carleton Union; F& A.M., and also member of the L.O.O.F. The funeral will take place from his late residence, 85 Elliott Row, at 3 o'clock this afternoon to the Carleton street synagogue, where services will be conducted by Rabbi Weiner. The funeral will be attended by delegations from the Masonic and Odd Fellows fraternities. Funerals The funeral of B.L. Amdur was held yesterday from his late residence, 85 Elliott row, to the Carleton street Synagogue, where service was conducted by Rabbi Weiner. Interment was in Fernhill cemetery. The funeral was attended by members of the Masonic and Odd Fellows' fraternities, and many friends who deeply mourn the death of a worthy citizen. Gravestone reference code(s): JM 998.61.390. Memorial plaque in synagogue: Jack and Rose Freedman - B3. Additional notes: Rabbi
