B.G. Sack, Jewish historian, has been granted the H.M. Caiserman Award of the Canadian Jewish Congress for 1964. The Award is presented annually for an outstanding contribution in the field of Jewish Arts and Letters in Canada and is in the amount of $500.
Mr. Sack’s volume, “History of the Jews in Canada, ” which was published several weeks ago by the Canadian Jewish Congress, is now about to appear in print with the assistance of the National Foundation for Jewish Culture in New York through the Canadian Jewish Congress. A substantial part of the second volume and the Yiddish manuscript is now being translated into English with the financial assistance of Congress.
The publications committee of Congress also approved grants each in the amount of $250,00 for “Jewish Attitude Toward Labor” by N. Shemen of Toronto, a two-volume study in Yiddish; “Between Two World Wars” by I. Medres of Montreal; and “Chapter One–sketches of Canadian Life Under the French Regime” by Dr. J. Kage of Montreal.
