- History / Biographical
- Niome Greenberg (also known as Norma Greenberg, Chomka Grinberg, Khomka Grinberg) was born on March 14 or 15, 1906 in the city of Kamenez (Kamenatz), Podolsky in Soviet Russia. She came to Ottawa in 1926 or 1927 after she was sponsored by her sister, Cayla Cardash (Cayla Greenberg - also seen as Kayla, Kala). She recieved her official citizenship in 1932. She lived at 226 Friel Street and 495 St. Patrick Street. In 1928 she listed her occupation on a US Temporary Visitor form as a fruit dealer. It is possible that she eventually moved to Chicago and started a family. Cayla (b. 1896, d. May 15, 1972) was married to Littman Cardash. They had four children together; Bess (m. Phillip S. Lewis of Washington D.C.), Rabbi Yehuda Cardash, Lillian (Lily - of Washington, D.C.) and Moses (Moe) Cardash.
