- Administrative History
- 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.
