Admin History/Bio: Kalmen Berger arrived in Toronto from Stashiv, Poland in 1927. He became involved with multiple groups and organizations within the Jewish community, including the Canadian Jewish Congress, landsmanshaften, the Yiddish Culture Society and Welfare, the Jewish Library, Israel Bonds, and the Jewish National Fund. His energy found a special outlet in the Labour Zionist Movement: Farband, Histadrut, youth and camps, and education. The latter was a passion of his: he was associated with the Folk shul before associating himself with Bialik Hebrew Day School, which was a major commitment in the final eleven years of his life.

Scope and Content: The file consists of correspondence between the Zionist Organization of Canada and the Labour Zionist Movement of Canada concerning the birthday celebrations honouring Kalmen Berger, The Farband, and a copy of the June 1967 edition of the View.
