- Leading Aircraftman Lionel Roher of Toronto, Ontario, was killed in an airplane crash on June 28, 1941, a fortnight before he was scheduled to receive his wings. He was stationed at No. 1 Service Flying Training School at Dauphin, Manitoba, and was practicing forced landings in a Harvard aircraft when he crashed 45 miles northeast of the school. The aircraft struck the ground with great force, and Leading Aircraftman Roher was killed instantly. His flight commander called him “the best student we had in the class,” and his instructor said, “…He was by far my best pupil and seemed equally good in aerobatics and instrument flying. He was very quick to learn and very eager and enthusiastic.” Leading Aircraftman Roher enlisted in the air force on September 26, 1940, and trained at Brandon, Regina, in British Columbia, and at Dauphin. A brother, Sergeant Martin Roher, also served in the R.C.A.F.

- 1 page, double-sided. Folded once horizontally and once vertically. 'Canadian National Telegraphs' printed in blue at bottom centre of page. Top third of page is blue with image of a card that says 'Greetings' in centre, surrounded by symbols of special occasions, such as wedding rings, a diploma, a calendar, luggage, a birthday cake, etc. On verso, date is stamped twice. Document is a telegram from Mr. and Mrs. Sol Kurek and their son, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Max Abrahamowitz congratulations on their wedding. Narrative: Bella (Beila, Bela) Herling and Mayer (Majer, Meyer, Meir) Abramovitch (Abramovitz, Abramowicz, Abramowitz) were the parents of the donor, Toby Herscovitch. Bella was born in Suchedniów, Poland on September 25, 1925, the youngest of a family of ten children. Her parents and five siblings were murdered in the Holocaust. Bella and three of her sisters survived the war working as slave labourers in an ammunitions factory in Skarzysko-Kamienna. They were liberated by Russian troops on January 16, 1945, and made their way to the Feldafing Displaced Persons Camp, where they reunited with a brother who had survived Auschwitz. Bella volunteered for nursing training by a Jewish refugee agency, and worked as a nurse in the camp from 1946 to 1948. In 1948, she joined her sister Paula in Toronto, where she worked as a nurse's aide and married Mayer, a fellow survivor who she had known from Feldafing. Born November 10, 1914 in Vilna (Vilnius), he was the sole survivor of a family of six children. He lived in the Vilna ghetto and worked in a factory making window panes for German barracks; he was later sent to a labour camp in Tallin, Estonia, and then to Stutthof concentration camp. In the final days of the war, he escaped from a subsequent transfer to Dachau concentration camp and was liberated. He spent three months sick in a hospital and ended up in Feldafing, where he was active in the "Amchu" or "AMCHO" theater group, part of the Jewish Labour Committee. He lived for a year in France, and immigrated to Canada in May, 1949. Bella and Mayer moved to Montreal in 1950 and opened a fabric store. Mayer passed away in 2001, and Bella in 2014.
