Mary Goldberg, her granddaughter, recounts her memories of her grandmother. She has fond memories of her grandmother taking her to Sunday school, living with her, and calls Gittel the heart of the family. -Mary’s first memories of her grandmother are from around 1920 when Mary was 7 years old. She recalls her grandmother cooking through the night on Fridays because there were no freezers so all the food for catering had to be done the day before. -Mary went to sunday school when she was young, she remembers learning jewish history and recalls some of her teachers. -Mary was born in Ottawa in 1911. At the time they lived in a house on St. Patrick. Gittel was a marvelous cook and Mary talks of watching her cook and the smells of her favorite dishes. -Mary also recalls a time when her sister got Scarlet Fever and the family was quarantined for 6 weeks.Gittel spent the whole time with Mary's sister taking care of her. She also speaks of a time in 1918 when the whole family got pneumonia and Gittel cared for them. -Mary described her grandmother and her personality. She remembers her as a small woman who was kind, helpful, humorous, and warm. -Mary’s prized possession is a piano her grandmother got for her. She recalls her grandmother picking out the piano for her and paying for it. Mary has kept this piano her entire life and treasures it. -Gittel was a natural cook, she never had to taste anything and it was always perfect. Mary recalls one of her first jobs with Mrs. Florence. Gittel would go over on Friday morning, cook various meals, and get paid $5 and bus fare. Gittel was also very kind and helpful; she would often help new mothers in the community when they had a new baby and she would help with the cooking. -Mary believes one of her grandmother’s first big catering jobs was the Finklestein’s wedding 1920. Mary recalls the smell of the soup and chicken from the wedding. She remembers her grandmother having women who helped her with the prep but Gittel always did all the cooking herself. Mary also touches on the challenges of cooking on a large scale in 1920. -Once Gittel remarried in her 70’s she retired from catering and Eva Goldfield took over. While she was retired Gittel still cooked for her family and Mary recalls her sister Ruth going to Gittels every week for Sabbath dinner. -Mary never learnt her grandmother’s recipes and recalls memories of her grandmother standing up for her when she did not eat meat as a child. -Gittel never had teeth and Mary regrets never taking the time to get dentures made for her. -Mary discusses changes in Jewish cooking, catering, and lifestyles now from when she was growing up. The recipes now are much healthier, all the fat and grease is removed. She speaks of how distractions have changed the lifestyle in the community and how her neighbourhood of Sandy Hill no longer has a Jewish presence. Mary also touches on how uncommon intermarriage was and how it is much more accepted now. -Mary then talks about her late husband, George Goldberg. He was a hairstylist from England and the first jewish hairdresser in Ottawa. -George and Mary met at a social hall across the street from Freiman’s Store. Mary was performing there and George asked her if she would like to accompany him as he was a violin player. The two began playing together when she was 15 and he was 21. -Mary then details the beginning of their relationship and their disapproving families due to the age difference. The two were engaged when she was 18 and were married in Montreal. They were happily married for 55 years. -When George first arrived in Canada he worked in a barber shop and cut hair for the men in the House of Commons. He wanted to expand into women's hair and began working at a salon on Bank Street. He then went to Freiman’s Department Store and pitched an in house salon to Mr. Freiman. Mary recalls George cutting Lillian Freimans hair and her loving it so much A.J. Freiman gave him a salon chair in the store. -When George’s salon opened in the store there was a line around the block. George worked in Freiman’s for many years and Mary talks about the expansion of the business. -Following this George opened his own salon on Sparks Street which he ran for 20 years. -Mary and Mac (interviewer) then look at an engagement scroll Mary was given on her engagement. It is signed by Reverend Mirsky and is very unique to the era. -Mary then talks further about the social hall she met George at.

- Subject: Greenberg Family Interviewer: N/A Date: October 1995 Interview Location: Ottawa, ON Length of Time: 75:30 -Lorry begins his speech with his mother and fathers early lives. His father Roger was 1 of 4 boys while his mother Rose came from a large family of 18/21 children. In 1915 Roger and Rose came to Canada. -The couple lived in billings bridge and had to learn to quickly adapt to their new country. During this time Roger caught Tuberculosis and had to spend some time in a sanitarium in Montreal. Once he returned he began his career as a peddler. -Roger and Rose had 5 children at this time; Lou, Jen, Gilbert, Grace, and Irving. -Lorry also talks of George H. Nelms, the former mayor of Ottawa, introduced Roger to the stock market. Unfortunately, this meant that when the crash happened and the great depression hit Ottawa the Greenbergs were affected. -By 1930 Roger and Rose were able to open up a small grocery store on the corner of Bank and Belmont, the family was making a good living there. -In the following years the supermarket’s started to open in Ottawa, this severely affected the family store as they saw customers switch to loblaws due to finances. Lorry tells a story of a customer telling his father he has to shop at loblaws instead of his store. -This forced Roger to go back to peddling and his older brother Lou also worked with his father to help make ends meet. -The family moved to a house on Monk Street where Lorry recalls his siblings doing homework in the kitchen. But by the 1920’s the family needed more space so they moved to 370 clarence Street. Clarence Street was a large home that his mother decorated with bright colors. -Lorry recalls memories of the neighbourhood and especially the local butcher who would wrap meat in dirty newspapers. -Roger then became a junk peddler. This meant he collected scrap iron, metal, cowhides, fabrics to resell or recycle. -Lorry’s brother Lou went into car sales during this time and his sister Jen became a salesperson in the Market. In 1940 his other brother Gilbert was able to purchase his own truck to assist his father with peddling. -Lorry then talks further about his siblings and the family dynamics between them. -Grace, who as a ballet dancer went to Montreal to study Ballet. When she returned she wanted to open a school so Rose and Grace opened a ballet school in the house on Clarence Street. Lorry recalls kids coming from around the city to be taught by Grace. -Lorry then discusses his own childhood. He was known as “Killer Greenberg” because him and his friends were known to run Sandy Hill. -In 1945 when the war ended Lorry’s two older brothers returned home. While in Europe they had learnt a new technique for reselling rags as wipers for car shops. The family decided to try this technique and created a small working plant in their backyard to wash and cut the rags and package them for sale. This business took off and became the number one product for the family. -Shortly after Rose suggested they also sell sugar bags for linens, just as they had been using in their own house. These two products became the source of income for the family. The family moved to Island Park Drive into a big house. -In 1950 a major production plant in Ottawa went bankrupt and the family was able to purchase a real plant in Hull to create their products. The business continued to grow and Lorry talks of his experiences working in the business during this time. -In 1950 the Red River overflowed and threatened much of Winnipeg. At this time the main line of defense was sandbags to stop flooding. The government of Canada needed someone to supply as many bags as possible to the effort, the Greenberg’s got this contract and supplied bags for all of Ontario to WInnipeg. This contract was a big step forward for the family as it alleviated much of their debt. -By 1954 Roger told the boys to leave the family business and move into real estate and development since he had seen the success one can have in that industry. -Together they bought their first apartment buildings and flipped them for a profit; after doing this a couple times the family could see the opportunity for growth. The brothers went to procure a loan for their business and The Minto Corporation was born. -The Minto group sold their first home in 1955, and shortly after Roger passed away. AT this time the brothers took a very hands on approach to the company. -Lorry then talks about the expansion of the business before his mother passed away in 1958. Shortly after in 1961 his brother Lou left due to health problems and in the following year Lorry left the corporation to focus on his public service. -Gilbert and Irving carried on the business and continued to expand. By the end of the 1970’s they had expanded into the Florida Markets. -Unfortunately, Gilbert passed away and left Irving at the helm. Irving took all of Gilbert's children under his wing and showed them the ropes so they could maintain their shares of the corporation. -Irving began to expand the business into commercial real estate; he began with the Carlisle Building and Minto Place. Lorry also tells a story of the family travelling from hotel to hotel and taking notes to know what accommodations to put in new builds. -By the end of the 1980’s Minto had built so many properties they could have housed the population of Kingston Ontario. -Lorry concludes by talking about the next generation of Greenbergs and all the promise that they bring to the business and the family name. -The talk concludes with a question period.

- Rectangular armband with three snaps. It served as identification for a forced labourer. This armband was given in Drancy internment camp to a hungarian Jew named Pal Link. Narrative: This armband belonged to Pal Link, the donor's father. In 1940, Pal was away from his home and family in Budapest for business and found himself stuck in France when the Germans invaded the country. He fled to Normandy hoping to escape to England but was unsuccessful. With false papers given to him by a local policeman, he managed to reach Nice in the South of France. Once the free zone was invaded, Pal went into hiding in the Alps but was denounced and deported to the Drancy internment camp. On the way to the camp, a soldier advised him to lie about his employment. Pal had a business exporting agricultural products but declared he was a stoker, and was put to work as such. This is how he survived from the end of 1943 to the summer of 1944 when the last inmates were let go in exchange for German soldiers. Pal survived the Holocaust and immigrated to Montreal where his son, Andre was living.

- 1 page. The right hand side shows the tablets of the law written in Hebrew with the Star of David on top. Left hand side is a message of congratulations. Narrative: Donor's grandfather was born in Britain in 1895. He moved to Holland when he was six years old . The family therefore qualified for British citizenship. Donor's father applied for British identification papers. Donor Nettie and her brother Joseph went briefly into hiding but their mother wanted the family together so they returned to Amsterdam. The family was rounded up on March 17th 1943, and taken to the Stadsschouwburg (a big cinema with seats removed) in Amsterdam where they stayed for about a week. From there they were sent to the camp of Westerbork, where they stayed for a couple of months. In the summer time they were sent to another camp in Amersfoort for about 4-6 weeks. They were afterwards sent back to Westerbork and at the beginning of 1944, the entire family was sent to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany. In Bergen-Belsen, the men and women were separated; the children from the age of 14 were sent to work. Nettie was considered small in stature, she lied about her age so she didn’t have to go to work. Her sister was three years older and was sent to work in the kitchen. Their father worked in a shoe factory and their mother worked in the kitchen peeling potatoes. Joseph (Nettie's younger brother) stayed in the camp with her. The family stayed in Bergen-Belsen until the end of 1944 (circa October or December) when they were sent to Wurzach with about. While on the train to Wurzach, the family had a separate carriage and they were told to take off the yellow stars because they were now considered internees. Additional research shows that in the winter 1944/1945 the castle of Bad Wurzach (160 km south of Stuttgart) served as a stopover for 72 Jewish prisoners from the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. They were Jews from Holland, who were foreign nationals, meaning they had either the British or U.S. citizenship or at least papers from South and Central American countries, and were regarded as "exchangeable" over German nationals in Allied custody. They had been sent in two shipments in the fall and winter from concentration camps in Germany, in order to be exchanged in Switzerland against German citizens held by the Allies. They were sent to different internment camps of Württemberg: Liebenau, Biberach and Wurzach. According to internees from Jersey already living in Bad Wurzach, the so-called "exchange Jews" were in a terrible state when they arrived; they were starved and scared. Through improved nutrition and the additional Red Cross parcels, they recovered relatively quickly. Only one of them perished in Wurzach . While in Wurzach, Joseph celebrated his bar mitzvah on February 24th, 1945; many internees including non-Jewish internees were present. Coffee and cakes were served; thanks to a monthly parcel from POWs (milk, sugar, cocoa) which had been saved to be used for the occasion. Joseph received bar mitzvah cards made by attendees. The family stayed in Wurzach until the end of April when the camp was liberated.

Narrative: Donor's grandfather was born in Britain in 1895. He moved to Holland when he was six years old . The family therefore qualified for British citizenship. Donor's father applied for British identification papers. Donor Nettie and her brother Joseph went briefly into hiding but their mother wanted the family together so they returned to Amsterdam. The family was rounded up on March 17th 1943, and taken to the Stadsschouwburg (a big cinema with seats removed) in Amsterdam where they stayed for about a week. From there they were sent to the camp of Westerbork, where they stayed for a couple of months. In the summer time they were sent to another camp in Amersfoort for about 4-6 weeks. They were afterwards sent back to Westerbork and at the beginning of 1944, the entire family was sent to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany. In Bergen-Belsen, the men and women were separated; the children from the age of 14 were sent to work. Nettie was considered small in stature, she lied about her age so she didn’t have to go to work. Her sister was three years older and was sent to work in the kitchen. Their father worked in a shoe factory and their mother worked in the kitchen peeling potatoes. Joseph (Nettie's younger brother) stayed in the camp with her. The family stayed in Bergen-Belsen until the end of 1944 (circa October or December) when they were sent to Wurzach with about. While on the train to Wurzach, the family had a separate carriage and they were told to take off the yellow stars because they were now considered internees. Additional research shows that in the winter 1944/1945 the castle of Bad Wurzach (160 km south of Stuttgart) served as a stopover for 72 Jewish prisoners from the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. They were Jews from Holland, who were foreign nationals, meaning they had either the British or U.S. citizenship or at least papers from South and Central American countries, and were regarded as "exchangeable" over German nationals in Allied custody. They had been sent in two shipments in the fall and winter from concentration camps in Germany, in order to be exchanged in Switzerland against German citizens held by the Allies. They were sent to different internment camps of Württemberg: Liebenau, Biberach and Wurzach. According to internees from Jersey already living in Bad Wurzach, the so-called "exchange Jews" were in a terrible state when they arrived; they were starved and scared. Through improved nutrition and the additional Red Cross parcels, they recovered relatively quickly. Only one of them perished in Wurzach . While in Wurzach, Joseph celebrated his bar mitzvah on February 24th, 1945; many internees including non-Jewish internees were present. Coffee and cakes were served; thanks to a monthly parcel from POWs (milk, sugar, cocoa) which had been saved to be used for the occasion. Joseph received bar mitzvah cards made by attendees. The family stayed in Wurzach until the end of April when the camp was liberated.

- Page with multiple holes punched on left edge, Nazi ink stamp, entitled "Bescheinigung" (certificate). Certificate to Herbert Isselbaecher. It says that he doesn’t have to pay anything to the community of Isselbach. This document was necessary to get permission to leave the country in 1939. 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.

- The medal is a downward facing triangle. Top half is a black lighthouse on a white background. Bottom half is a downward facing red triangle in the middle of which is a circle, inside of which is a black swastika on a white background. The contours of the medal, the lighthouse, the swastika and the circle are medal-coloured, as well as the details of the lighthouse. The medal is soldered to a medal pin. Narrative: This stickpin was given to veterans from the First World War, to military, civilian and political individuals for their service to the Nation. In the case of military personel, a full size medal was awarded along with the stickpin. Originally the Kyffhäuserbund was a section of the Deutscher Kriegerbund (German Warrior League). Deutscher Kriegerbund (German Warrior League) was a War Veterans' and reservists' Association in Germany. It was established in April 1873 in Weißenfels. Its origins lie in a Warrior Association established in 1786 by fusiliers of Frederick II of Prussia's army in Wangerin/Pomerania. The original purpose of the War Veterans' Associations was to provide their members and former soldiers with proper burial arrangements, in order to preserve the dignity of their former comrades-in-arms and honor them even after their death. The Kyffhäuserbund was create in 1900 with the purpose of uniting all German war veterans' associations. It was initially named "Kyffhäuserbund der deutschen Landeskriegerverbände" (Kyffhäuser League of the German Countries' Warriors Associations). This name was later abbreviated to Kyffhäuserbund. The name and lighthouse symbol come from the Kyffhäuserdenkmal (Kyffhäuser Monument) (also known as Barbarossadenkmal (Barbarossa Monument) or Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal (the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument)), a memorial in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm I (Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig von Preußen) built on the summit of the Kyffhäuser Mountain near Bad Frankenhausen in the state of Thuringia in Germany. Before the First World War, the Kyffhäuserbund counted nearly 3 million war veterans as its members and was one of Germany's largest societies. After the First World War, the Kyffhäuserbund changed its name to Deutscher Reichskriegerbund Kyffhäuser e.V. (German Warriors Association Kyffhäuser). As the Nazi tookover the power in 1933, the Kyffhäuserbund was nazified. 5 years later, in 1938, it's name was changed to NS-Reichskriegerbund Kyffhäuser e.V (Nationalsocialist Reich Warriors Association Kyffhäuser) and it became the only organization representing the Veterans' interests in the Third Reich. The symbol, the lighthouse, who was formerly on top of a black, white and red flag, was now on top of a swastika. After the Second World war, on the 10th Oktober 1945, the Allies ordered the disbandment and liquidation of the Nazi organizations (Auflösung und Liquidierung der Naziorganisationen). Kyffhäuserbund reestablished itself in 1952. Nowadays it emphasizes its role as a shooting sports association.
