Admin History/Bio

The ZOC Charitable Fund was incorporated in 1969 after United Israel Appeal separated from the Zionist Organization of Canada and became an independent organization. The establishment of the ZOC Charitable Fund allowed the organization to continue operating several programs and activities and function as a tax-exempt charitable organization. The Fund was administered by a Board of Trustees composed of 17 executive officers of the Zionist Organization of Canada in addition to several appointed trustees. The Charitable Fund was responsible for financing and overseeing several ZOC programs in Canada and Israel, including: Zionist libraries, youth scholarships, Zionist youth summer camps, the promotion of Hebrew language instruction, the provision of educational subsidies, and the Canada-Town project in Israel.

Scope and Content

This series consists of records created between 1968 and 1975, including the mandate of the Charitable Fund, administrative records, minutes of meetings, reports, correspondence, scholarship records, and publicity materials.

The Chmielnicker Society was started in Toronto after the Holocaust by survivors. In its early years, the society played an important role in the lives of the newly-arrived groups for socializing with people who had shared similar experiences in Europe. They organized picnics, women's teas, celebrated Yom Yerushalaim, Hanukkah parties, and an annual "Hazkarah," a memorial service for those who died in the war. The Hazkarah continues to be the most important activity of the group today.
