This memorial at @TheDDayStory museum in #Portsmouth moved #DDay veteran Dr. Bill Novick, 95, of Montreal today. He piloted a Halifax bomber to raid Caen on Dday. He’s a decorated Canadian #WWll hero. The other photo says #Remember in #Hebrew . He’s in my book @KaddishforDDay .

For the 1st time in its history, the @rcmpgrcpolice says ✡️members can wear a #kippah on duty. But the Mounties don't have one, yet, to match their iconic uniforms: that caused problems for an officer in B.C. 'til @bnaibrithcanada helped.➡️ @thecjndaily

Today is the 78th anniversary of the Canadian Army's fatal #WWll raid on German positions in #Dieppe , France. Among the nearly 5,000 Cdns commandos were 30 of #Jewish faith. Read about two Jewish soldiers who saved many others. Only one came home.

It's the 82nd anniversary of the MS St.Louis' ill-fated voyage carrying 900+ Jewish refugees from Hitler's Europe. Canada, Cuba, USA turned the ship away. On today's episode of @TheCJN Daily podcast, a Canadian woman describes how her family survived.

Please watch @GlobalNational tonight for a #RemembranceDay feature that’s close to my heart. Involves the hard work of @ebessner & others to correct a mistake 75 years later. (Also, that embarrassing moment when you and your interviewee show up in identical outfits.)
