History / Biographical
Adele Druckman was born in Dorna Candrenilor near Vatra-Dornia, Romania, in 1894. At eighteen years old, she attended a school called Jaures-Zeugnis in the town of Chernovitz. In 1938, at 44, she was married to Isaac Kinsbrunner, a businessman in Chernovitz, which was under control of the Nazis. As Jews, they had to wear a yellow star and carry an identity card. After the Germans were defeated, the Soviets took over. Most of their family was gone, and they struggled to start again. Finally, in 1949 they decided to leave and emigrate to Paris. Adele packed her monogrammed linen, and hid her diamond engagement ring as well as an unmounted diamond. Isaac's cousin had moved to Canada in 1913, so they went to the Canadian Legation in Paris for permission to immigrate. They were required to leave by January 1950, and so booked passage on the Samaria to arrive in Halifax on February 9, 1950. They were met by Isaac's cousin, Sydney Brown, ne Kinsbrunner, and his wife Jessie Cohen, who took them to Sydney's shop in Montreal at 4464 Coloniale Avenue. Unfortunately, Isaac suffered a heart attack and died, having only been in Canada for 12 days, devastating Adele. Sydney and Jessie had two sons, aged 5 and 7, who helped Adele learn English using their schoolbooks, building on the French she had learned in Paris. Sydney learned of a job as a nurse's aid at the Mount Sinai Sanitorium in Ste Agathe, a village north of Montreal, which Adele took to immediately. She was well suited to comfort the patients and enjoyed the peace of the countryside. Adele was often included in Brown family events, including Passover and Rosh Hashana, and she even undertook a trip to Brooklyn, New York, to visit Sydney's sister, Pearl. She was required to provide an explanation for her lack of a passport, but was fortunate enough to have been able to bring her birth certificate from Romania. The Brown family often visisted Ste Agathe to visit, until Adele retired at 74, after 18 years at the Sanitorium. Upon retirement, Adele returned to Montreal, where Sydney helped her find a small apartment on Cote St Luc road next to a synagogue. Sydney's sons, meanwhile, had grown up and become both doctors. They both got married in the same week, and Ida offered her engagement ring to the elder son, while the younger son was offered the unmounted diamond. (Biographical note taken from file 00001.)

History / Biographical
Luba Miller was born in Russia in 1925 to Bella and Boris (Benny) Shulman. Wealthy Capitalists, per Luba, the Shulmans found themselves forced to flee Russia in 1929 upon the urging of Benny's brother, an editor for Pravda, with whom they lost contact completely after their emigration. Bella's family was already in Montreal, while Benny's other siblings had settled in Baltimore. Ms. Miller recounts having her governess, whom she called Dana, bringing her to the ship in Paris, as well as her family leaving with, "four forks, four spoons, four knives, there were four of us!" Luba's older brother, Chaim, born in 1921, had already faced difficulty entering school under his own name due to the Bolsheviks, and Stalin's rise to power only hastened the difficulties that the Shulmans were facing. Ms. Miller tells the story, told to her by their mother, of her parents attempt to leave Russia, in which, at the border, they were stopped as Bella was still wearing her diamond earrings. A border guard told her to remove them, or he would shoot her husband and say that he had tried to cross the border without approval. The Shulmans arrived in November of 1929, anticipating meeting Benny's siblings in Baltimore. However, in an unhappy twist of fate, their arrival was the day after the American stock market crash of 1929, and the American borders were closed to arrivals. Their ship was rerouted to Montreal, where they were able to connect with Bella's family. Here, the Shulmans found it difficult to reestablish themselves, as they had arrived with nothing and spoke neither English nor French. Benny took a job in a butcher shop, but found the work difficult and unstimulating. Luba married at 16 in order to alleviate some of her parents' financial concerns. In another ironic turn of events, the Shulmans, who had fled Russia to avoid Communism found themselves turning to it for comfort once settled in Montreal, even ending up on an American no-entry list for being subscribers to Fred Rose's newspaper.
