Peter Usher’s illustrated talk will provide a guide to the enlistment, service, combat, casualty, and burial records of the thousands of Jewish Canadians who served in the Second World War. He will tell us how to obtain these records, what they say and do not say, and how to understand and interpret them.
Peter Usher is the author of two acclaimed biographies of Jewish Canadian airmen.
