Judy (Gold-Asch) and Myer Gordon will present "Four Hundred Brothers & Sisters - a Story of Two Jewish Orphanages in Montreal, 1902-1942," sponsored by the Jewish Genealogical Society of Montreal and the Jewish Public Library.
Myer lived in one of the homes for 10 years.
The Gordons' two books are endorsed by archivists, librarians, social workers and professors who agree about the importance of informing a wider audience about this part of the city's history. The orphanages' reunions still attract former residents and their families.
The program will begin at 7.30 p.m., Monday, April 16, at the Gelber Conference Centre.
For information on future meetings and Sunday morning workshops, call the JGS of Montreal hotline, 514-484-0969, or click here.
