Dear Ms. Spivak
I am a Toronto professor of journalism at Centennial College. I am currently writing a book about the Canadian Jews who were killed during the Second World War, and will be in Winnipeg next week to do some research and interviews.
I have not been able to find anyone yet who knew the two local men, Israel Freedman, or Yude Brownstone, and wonder if you could publicize my request?
Both are buried in Normandy.
Freedman's father was a butcher Peter. His mother was Molly.
My contact information is below, and my telephone number is 416 822 1503
Many thanks for any help you may be able to give me on this matter.
Sincerely,
Ellin Bessner
