Accession Number: 2006-2-10

Material Format: graphic material

Physical Description: 32 photographs : b&w ; 16 x 10 cm

Date: [ca. 1940]-[ca. 1949]

Scope and Content: Accession consists of thirty-two copy photographs of the Smith family, including images of the donor's father David during the Second World War while stationed in Quebec City, Halifax, England and eventually imprisoned in prisoner of war (POW) camp Stalag Luft III in Germany. In addition there are photographs of the donor's grandparents Max and Rose's singles resort at Port Carling in the Muskokas called Smith's Bay House and holiday photos from Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and a Passover seder. Additional locations of photos include Young Judaea's Camp Hagshama in Perth, Ontario and Toronto city street views of Bloor Street and Palmerston Boulevard.

Administrative History: Max and Rose Smith opened a resort for Jewish singles in Port Carling, Muskoka in 1938. The resort was kosher and offered Jewish content to visitors. Boys and girls bunked seperately.; Rose Smith sold the resort in 1955 shortly after Max passed away.; According to David Smith's daughter Miriam "What my dad and my aunt told me is that Smith's Bay House is where the young people went, not the older folks, as is stated in Andrew's article. I think the discrepancy is that after the war, when the soldiers came home, there were more young people around working and going on vacation. They told me that my grandfather would go around at 11pm, making sure all the visitors were sleeping where they should be and that there were no shenanigans going on! Also of note, the first summer they opened, 1938, in the first group of visitors included a young man who would become my aunt's husband. They met there. My aunt loved to tell that story."; Suzanne Smith (née Beskin) and David Samuel Smith met at Cornell University in the spring of 1946, after David returned from service in the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. Suzanne was living in the United States and attending Columbia University. She worked as a libraian at Cornell. David studied hotel administration. They married in 1947 and moved back to Toronto in 1948.

Admin History/Bio: The General Sturgis was originally a military ship (called a Liberty ship) that was being used to transport people from post-Second World War Europe to Canada. The ship accommodated the men on board in stacked cots in the hold, while the women and children slept separately in cabins. The boat had sailed from Braemanhaven, Germany, landing in Halifax on 6 February 1948. On board were Jewish immigrants from displaced persons (DP) camps, most of whom were brought over as tailors with the aid of the Canadian Jewish Congress and Jewish Immigrant Aid Services (JIAS). Many of the individuals pictured eventually settled in Montreal.

Scope and Content: Item is a copy photograph and corresponding negative of the boat General Sturgis landing at Pier 21 in Halifax.
