Family History


In the last several months, I conducted two interviews of my father to learn more about my grandparents who immigrated to Canada from Turkey and Lithuania. As time passes and first generation children assimilate, family history becomes diluted, changed and lost.


My father looks through old family photographs from Turkey. He has no idea who most of these relatives are. 












 





This is a photograph of my great grandparents, great uncle, great aunts and grandmother in Turkey.


                                                                                                          
These are photographs of a Torah dedication and celebration in Lithuania. My Great Grandmother raised money in Canada for this Torah.
