- History / Biographical
- Abe Hochberg (b. 1928- d. 2005) was the son of Yetta (b. 1896- d. 1977) and Nathan Hochberg (b. 1896-d. 1933). The Hochebergs immigrated to Canada from Poland in 1928, and first stopped in Montreal before settling permanently in Ottawa. Five years after their arrival, Nathan Hochberg passed away suddenly, leaving Abe along with his mother, and siblings Hy Hochberg (b. 1923- d. 1985) and Rose (m. Harry Goldberg) to fend for themselves and to tend the family's small lunch counter on Nicholas Street. As a teenager in the 1940's Abe became involved with the 39th Jewish Scout Troop (later renamed the 39th Henry Hank Torontow Scout Troop). Too young to enlist in World War II, He amassed 300 War Hours and more Proficiency Badges than any other of his fellow scouts. From the scouts he joined the Macabee Air Cadet Squadron. And later in the 1940's became a Scout Leader. In 1954, Abe took on the role of Director of the Sunday morning services for the Hanoar Breakfast Club. Abe was first employed by Joe Feller where he first got his start in the tailoring business. Abe went on to open his own men's tailoring shop named Gentleman's Fine Apparel, which was located at 204 Rideau Street.

- Notes
- This 77 page photograph album was a gift to Mrs. Freiman's son, Lawrence Freiman, on the occasion of his Bar Mitzvah by Mr. Harry Hershman. In 1920 a campaign was launched in Montreal to bring immigrant orphans from the Ukraine to Canada. These were children who had lost their parents in the bloody pogroms of 1919. Ottawa's Lillian Freiman took charge of this project. She convened a conference of the city's Jewish community leaders where it was decided to bring over as many orphans as possible, she then traveled to cities across Canada to make an appeal on the orphans behalf. During this time she also worked to plan the campaign with Montreal's Harry Hershman, a representative of the People's Relief Committee and a prominent member of the Jewish War Orphans' Committee of Canada. Together, with the support of the committees, they succeeded in settling 146 Ukrainian war orphans in Canadian homes in 1921. That this was done through the offices of a few dedicated Jews, and by agency of an ethnic constituency held at arm’s length from the Canadian community at large, presents a revealing dimension of Canada’s immigration and social history — a dimension that has yet to be acknowledged outside ethnic circles.
