- 1 page, single-sided. Folded twice vertically and once horizontally. Printed on letterhead of the American Friends Service Committee with logo of a black 4-pointed star with 2 small holes at centre, askew over a straight red 4-pointed star. Document is a typed copy of a letter addressed to Annie Berkowicz in Monreal. The letter, from the Individual Services Unit of the organization, states that a ring that was previously discussed is now in their office and that they will be sending it with Dr. Feguson who will be coming to Montreal to work. The letter is regarding Esther Mises, file number 21389. Narrative: Chana (Chane, Annie) (Trompeter) Berkowicz was the mother of the donor, Jack (Jacques) Berkowicz. Her sister Esther Mises (Mieses) was deported from the Drancy transit camp to Auschwitz-Birkenau on September 4, 1942, on Transport 28 with her two sons, Heinrich (Heinz), born in 1932, and Hermann, born in 1933. Born in Mielec, Poland, Chana was living in Vienna, Austria with her parents and two sisters. In 1938, after the German annexation of Austria, the family fled, driving to France via Belgium. Tuwja (Tuwyas, Tuwia, Tuvia, Tobias) Bercowicz (Berkowicz) was the donor's father. Born in Vilna, Tuwyas immigrated to Belgium in 1933 and when Belgium fell to Nazi Germany in 1940, he fled to France, hoping to reach Morocco by boat from Marseilles. Tuwyas and Chana met in Lyon, France in 1941 and married. Their daughter Dorothée was born in 1942. The family attempted to flee France by boat in Marseilles, but were stopped by Vichy police. They fled Marseilles and went south, into the Pyrenees region, living in various small vilages. Their son Jack was born in Bernac-Dessus in 1944. The family survived the war and returned to Brussels from 1945-1948, and then immigrated to Canada with the help of the American Joint Distribution Committee. They were sponsored by Tuwyas' sister Luba, who was already living in Halifax. The Berkowicz family settled in Montreal.

- 1 horizontal slip of paper, double-sided. Folded once vertically. Document is a receipt for duty and identification coupon for Jakob Baron and family for United States customs at the port of Philadelphia, Pa. Receipt is numbered 317918 on right-hand side. The receipt names the Serpa Pinto as vessel, and is for 8 pieces of baggage. On verso, guidelines for passengers are printed in 4 languages. Narrative: This document was used by the donor, Maurice Baron, and his family during their immigration to Canada in 1944. Maurice Baron was born in Nancy, France in 1931. In September 1943, the Barons crossed the Pyrenees on foot, entered Spain and lived in Barcelona for one year. The Barons obtained visas to enter Canada via Portugal and travelled to Philadelphia via the Serpa Pinto, which left Lisbon on March 23, 1944 and docked in Philadelphia on April 6, 1944. They arrived in Montreal by train on April 8, 1944. The Serpa Pinto was a Portuguese transport ship, which sailed under the command of Captain Americo Dos Santos. With a capacity of 600 people, the ship made regular trips from Lisbon, Portugal to Rio de Janeiro, New York City, Philadelphia and Baltimore. It has been said that the ship transported about 7800 refugees, among them hundreds of Jews during the Second World War.
