History / Biographical: Alex Polowin Tuesday, April 15th, 1924 - Tuesday, August 16th, 2022 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Alex Polowin on August 16th , in his 99th year. Alex was a decorated war hero and proud Canadian Veteran. He was predeceased by his wife Kathleen Petrie and his beloved son Howard Polowin. Loving Father to Cary (Annie), Sheldon, and father-in-law to Anne. Cherished Pappy to Aaron, Lily, Jesse and Meghan. Brother to Frida and Gerry. He was predeceased by siblings Harold, David, Anne, Sheila, and Charles. At 17, Alex enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy. His father, an immigrant from Lithuania, could not read or write English so he didn’t realize the paper he was signing said that Alex was 18 and old enough to serve his country. Alex’s bravery and service during the Second World War earned him many awards including the French Legion of Honour, the Atlantic Star, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, the Soviet Peace Medal, and the Order of Ushakov. He was awarded Canada’s Sovereign Medal for volunteerism by the Governor General of Canada for his exceptional volunteer work. Alex proudly represented Canada at the 70 th D-Day celebrations at Juno Beach where he was humbly introduced to Queen Elizabeth II, Barack Obama, Francois Hollande, and Angela Merkel among other prominent world leaders. It brought Alex a lot of joy to visit countless schools, retirement residences, and nursing homes to talk about his war experiences. For the last fifteen years, he has been a sought-after speaker for Historica Canada’s Memory Project. He was known for playing his harmonica for his audiences, just as he did on his naval ship during the War. He volunteered for over 25 years with the Tamir Foundation. In recognition of all that Alex gave to his country and community, the City of Ottawa named a street after him in 2017. This will help preserve his legacy for generations to come. He enjoyed daily visits from his best friend, the Honourable David Kilgour, until his passing earlier this year. Alex’s life was made richer by the warm visits, outings, and calls by his many friends and admirers. A special thank you to the Ottawa Paramedics, the Ottawa Police Department and Sergeant Marc Levesque for their kindness and empathy. Donations in Alex’s honour can be made to the Tamir Foundation.

History / Biographical: RUDNER, Martin, Ph. D With profound sadness, the death is announced of Dr. Martin Rudner, PhD., at the Ottawa General Hospital Cancer unit on December 14, 2019. Only son of Moses Rudner and Esther Hockenstein of Montreal, he was an eminent interdisciplinary Canadian scholar and inspired teacher whose internationally recognized lifetime contributions culminated in his being designated upon retirement in 2007 Professor Emeritus and Distinguished Research Professor by the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University. Educated at Hebrew Academy and McGill University, Montreal (B.A and M.A. 1965), Linacre College Oxford (M.Litt.,1969) and Hebrew University of Jerusalem (PhD 1974), he became Senior Research Fellow, Department of Economics, Research School of Pacific Studies at the Australian National University (1975) and then Academic Assistant to the Vice-Chancellor (1980-1982). Returning to Canada in 1982 on contract with the Canadian International Development Agency, he was also appointed Visiting Associate Professor at The Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University. Within six years he had achieved Full Professorship (1988) Martin's early interest in international affairs centred on social, political and economic development in Asia (Malaysia, Indonesia and Burma), but a latent interest in intelligence and national security matters was given impetus by the security environment of the late 1990s. Appointed Founding Director of the Canadian Centre of Intelligence and Security Studies (CCISS) in 2002, his academic research shifted to Canada's national intelligence and security policy and institutions. He soon became a sought-after advisor to the Canadian and other governments as well as an articulate media commentator, continuing so right through retirement to his passing. A strong believer in the importance of research-based teaching and a supporter of Canada's early emphasis on 'area studies' and policy expertise, he promoted research initiatives relevant to the security needs of both public and private sectors aimed at enhancing knowledge and understanding. In the shadow of 9/11, he was elected Vice President and President of the Canadian Association for Security and Intelligence Studies (CASIS) which became a forum for the International Security community to share ideas and practices. He also became a one-man information service to the security communities at home and abroad with his internet circulated 'List" which brought to its readers specific items of interest from credible sources culled from the world's newspapers, government reports and academic journals. Martin's diligent searches online were motivated purely by a wish to serve his country and support those who asked for his help. Although he willingly courted controversy when he believed accepted assessments were ill-founded, he was a loyal and supportive colleague. In his later retirement years, failing eyesight sadly reduced his research capacity but he continued his advisory work and served on the editorial boards of several scholarly journals to the end, providing his own unique insights. His love of Persian carpets, on which he was considered a leading expert, never dimmed. He was a very special man who will be sadly missed by Angela, his partner and soulmate for 21 years, Bonnie (Alex Spira) his sister, Aliza (Jeremy Goldstein) daughter by his first wife Judy Levine, and his four nephews Brian, Avi, Danny and Shalom Spira. A Funeral Service was held on December 16. For those wishing, donations in Martin's name may be made to the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre.

Fonds No.: E0016

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.

Scope and Content: Summary: Ethel Kernzer (nee Kott) was born December 4 1931 in Troyanivka, Ukraine, to Mordechai and Risi (sp?) Kott. She had two older siblings, a brother named Moshe and a sister named Gittle. In 1942 at the age of 11 years old she became aware that things were changing in her town, neighbours became unfriendly and her father’s business went on the decline. Then one day all the Jews in town were called to come out to a big church in the center of the town and killings began. Ethel ran away and wound up living in the Ukrainian forest with neighbors, some family members, and others who had fled Troyanikva including other marginalized groups including Roma people or "Gypsies." They built an underground bunker in the forest and she recalls that at times there were as many as 75 living there. She stayed in the bunker almost continuously, only leaving once and a while for fear of being caught. It was dirty and crowded, and the bunkers residents were constantly hungry and covered in lice. She emotionally recalls one day her father and brother going out in search of food and never returning. Ethel also stresses that the gypsies were really good at “finding” things and recalls that they made improvised bombs and were fiercely protective of the bunker. She lived in the bunker for 18 months. After the war ended, she and the group of mainly young people who had survived living in the bunker made their way to Rafalivlka, a nearby town. They stayed there a while in an abandoned house but soon left for Lodz, Poland, as conditions for Jews remained unsafe in Ukraine. From Lodz she sought refuge in a kibbutz in Rosenheim, Germany. The plan was to transport these refugees to a displaced persons camp in northern Italy, where surviving relatives could find them. Others would be sent my ship to British-occupied Palestine (N.B. the State of Israel had not yet been established.) The journey form the German kibbutz to the Italian DP camp took many months, legs of the journey had to be made on foot others were made while smuggled in the backs of trucks. Ethel was meant to be placed on one of the ships carrying refugees illegally into Palestine; however, she would only go as far as Italy. In Italy Ethel received a letter from a relation of her mother’s in Canada. Ethel’s great-aunt who lived in Pembroke Ontario advised her to stay in the camp while arrangements were made to bring her to Canada. In 1947 Ethel boarded the ship that would bring her to the country she had only just learned existed. She travelled though Montreal where she stayed with another uncle and aunt. Ethel really liked Montreal where she had cousins her age and didn’t want to move to Pembroke. She eventually did travel to Pembroke but was very lonesome. Her great aunt and uncle understood that she would be happier in Montreal and accompanied her back to Montreal, a journey that had a 3 hour stop-over in Ottawa. While in Ottawa, a family friend named Syd Kerzner arranged to pick them up and took them for coffee. Not long after he would send a message to Montreal asking to see her again and in 1948 they were married in Ottawa. Ethel and Syd had four children, seven grandchildren, and eight great grandchildren. They were happily married for 56 years but Ethel had a deal with Syd that he never ask questions about her past. It was too difficult and too painful for her to revisit, something she had not felt ready to do until the making of this recording in 2015.

History / Biographical: Saul Goldfarb 1921 - 2013 Long-time Ottawa entrepreneur, boater, real-estate developer and early resident of what was the new suburb of Alta Vista, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 25, 2013 at the age of 91. Saul came to Canada from his native Poland as a boy, settling with his family in Montreal. As a young man, he excelled as a student and athlete, playing semi-pro baseball to help his family through the lean years. A veteran of World-War II, Saul served as a pilot with the RCAF which led to his meeting his long time wife Edna, at an (Uplands) air-force dance. Edna predeceased him in August of 2007. After the war he entered the family business, Albert’s Men’s Wear on Rideau Street, a business established by his father-in-law, Albert Brunberg in 1911.

With changing times and tastes, Saul sold the business in the early 70’s to begin a new phase in his life involving residential tenancy properties. He managed his portfolio of properties until 2004 at which time he sold the properties and retired, spending most of his time at his country-home near Plantagenet Ontario and his condominium in south Florida.

Scope and Content: This documentary film of the Kardish family and the Rideau Bakery in Ottawa, Ontario was produced with funding through OMNI Television Independent Producers Initiative. Using archival images, family photographs and interviews with family members, staff and customers, the film tells the story of a bakery that has continued for four generations. The film explores the challenges facing one of the last surviving family owned and operated bakeries in this country. David Kardish recalls going to the bakery as a child with his father. He is shown at the bakery packing bread, helping out wherever he is needed and sitting at the Rideau Street lunch counter where many loyal customers praise the traditional European style baked goods. Debbie (Kardish) Baylin started out in the accounting area working with her father. As the family historian, she recounts the story of Rivka baking bread while raising 12 children in order to support the family while her husband Moise studied Torah. Historian Henry Abramson provides background commentary about life in of Kamianets-Podilsky Russia from the 1890's to the 1920's when two Kardish brothers immigrated to Ottawa. David and Abe Kardish worked for other bakeries until opening the first Rideau Street bakery in 1930. "Uncle" Moe Kardish and Pinhey Kardish reflect on how their lives were shaped by working at the bakery from an early age. Other footage includes a tribute to long time employees Ivan, Max and Annie who were treated like family by the Kardish's. Louis Kardish started at the bakery working nights when he was 15. He always felt that he wanted to contribute to the family business. Today he manages the operation which supplies goods to local restaurants, stores and synagogues throughout Ottawa. The film contains Bonus Features on Kaminets-Podilsky, Photo Gallery (stills of film crew at work), Henry Abramson Interview, Trailer and extended scenes of Louis, Muriel and Rachel Kardish at home, David Kardish making pizza dough, Annie at Retirement party and Pinhey Kardish with Rabbi R. Bulka at prayer.
