It’s been a busy November 2015! I spoke about 44 Hours or Strike! at the Free Times Café (Yiddish Vinkl) on Thurs. Nov. 5. We had a great time talking about the garment industry in Toronto and singing Yiddish songs together.

On Wed. Nov. 11, I spoke on the topic of “Uncertain Haven: Canada and the Jewish Displaced Persons” at the Ekstein Library as part of  Holocaust Education Week in the GTA. It’s always great to have such an appreciative audience. And we even had to bring in more chairs!

Finally, on Mon. Nov. 30, I spoke at the Terraces of Baycrest / Wagman Centre about 44 Hours or Strike!  It was a pleasure to read from my book, talk about research and writing, and sing Yiddish songs together. An added bonus was hearing people’s stories about growing up in Toronto.
