JHSSA is pleased to announce the launch of our Southern Alberta Jewish Veterans of World War I & II Database. This project grew out of our 2011 AGM program honouring our living veterans. The database is dedicated to Val Rimer with the support of the Ghert Family Foundation.. Both Mr. Rimer and Mr. Ghert will be part of the November launch. Keith Hann, JHSSA’s main researcher for the project, will introduce the main features of the Database and will explain how to conduct searches about individual veterans and about general information about our Jewish servicemen. This Database aims to include those Jewish veterans of the two World Wars who spent a part of their lives in Southern Alberta.
