Rabbi Israel Isaac Kahanovitch fonds

  • Fonds
  • 1909-1945, 1961-1987

Fonds consists of marriage registers and other records of Rabbi Israel Isaac Kahanovitch as well as additional records collected by family members Nazi war crimes.

Volumes of marriage registers record information about the bride and groom and other details about the wedding. Later volumes use the official City of Winnipeg forms and record more information than earlier volumes.

Other records of Kahanovitch relate to religious divorces, immigration and other legal documents. These records also include condolence cards on the death of his wife and cards to his family after his own death.

Newspaper clippings relate to Nazi war crimes, war criminals in Canada and anti-Semitism. These appear to have been collected by other members of the Kahanovitch family well after the rabbi’s death and do not appear to be related to Rabbi Kahanovitch.
