Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Lillian Freiman was a prominent member of the Ottawa Canada Jewish community. She was involved in the city s Children s Aid Society, where she started working with troubled youth. In 1903, when she was 18, she married Archibald J. Freiman (1880 1944). He was a Lithuanian-born Jew who founded Freiman s, a successful department store in Canada s capital. When the First World War broke out in 1914, she devoted herself to providing comforts to the soldiers at the front and those stationed in Ottawa. In 1915, she organized the Red Cross knitting and sewing club by installing 30 sewing machines in her own home. Jewish women gathered there weekly to make sheets, blankets and clothing to send overseas. This club formed the basis of what became, in 1918, the Disraeli Chapter of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire. In 1917, Freiman foresaw the difficulties that returning soldiers would face in their transition back to Canadian society. She helped form the Ottawa chapter (and later Dominion Command) of the Great War Veterans Association of Canada. This organization later became the Canadian Legion and is now the Royal Canadian Legion. In 1921, teacher and humanitarian Anna Guérin visited Canada. Guérin was the director of a charity that sold poppy boutonnieres to raise funds for war-torn France. Lillian Freiman saw the potential of a similar campaign to help Canada s veterans and their families. After the First World War, Lillian Freiman and her husband, Archie, turned their attention to the Zionist movement. Zionists of their era, before the founding of Israel in 1948, sought to establish a Jewish state in Palestine. In 1919, she took the leadership of Hadassah-WIZO, an organization that became a major fundraiser for Zionist activities both in Palestine and Canada. Regulations passed in the 1920s by the Canadian government made it difficult for immigrants, especially Jews, to enter Canada. In 1920, none of Eastern Europe s 137,000 Jewish orphans was granted entry to Canada or the United States. Freiman arranged a meeting with Frederick Charles Blair, an official with the Department of Immigration and Colonization. She requested that 1,000 Jewish Ukrainian war orphans be allowed into the country. In response, 200 healthy orphans were authorized to enter Canada.
