 THE
DECADE 1940 - 1949
In this decade: England sank the Battleship Bismarck; war in
Europe was raging;
RADAR and SONAR were developed; Japan bombed Pearl Harbour
prompting the U.S. and Britain to declare war on Japan; U.S.
declared war on Germany and Italy; Warsaw Ghetto erupted;
German army was destroyed by Russian troops near Stalingrad;
VE day; atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; Japan
surrendered and WW2 ended; the Diary of Anne Frank was
published; the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered; the STATE
OF ISRAEL was declared; Korea ----- and here's what was
happening in the Rose Family
The following genealogical information was obtained from the book given to
attendees at the Rose Family Club 50th Anniversary Gala, which was held on
September 3, 1995 in Toronto, Canada. This is an ongoing project for me and I am
hoping to connect with as many family members as possible to make the Rose
genealogical timeline even more complete. Please feel free to contact me at the following: |

I am looking forward to talking with all of you. Until then.

passed away-TORONTO-age 82 (approx.); his dream of having his children get
together regularly, so that --- "cousins shouldn't pass each other on the
street and not know they're related -- " had happened. Lil Saiger adds some
memories: " -- he would come into the shop behind the store at 797 Dundas
every day, sit and sew buttons at the finishing desk. He liked to be with
his family and it gave him something to do. But every day someone in the
family, or friends would come in and say, "you should be ashamed of yourself
making your old father work in the shop." Eventually, Nusie told his father
not to come in any more -- that the work was too much for him. He went home
and died not 6 months later. He loved being around younger people and was no
trouble around the shop. I can still see him sitting with other finishers
like Jennie, his glasses over his forehead, feeling he was useful.
