BLOOMSTONE-ZLATIS ARCHIVE
The earliest Bloomstone family members to immigrate to Montreal arrived in the mid 1920s, including the donor's father Velvel (Wolff, or William) Bloomstone, born 1902 in Keidan, Lithuania. The donor's mother Pessl (Zlatis) Bloomstone, born 1904 in Ragola, Lithuania, arrived in Montreal in 1927. The Bloomstone-Zlatis collection contains letters written before and after the Holocaust by family members who had remained behind in Lithuania, and also by relatives who later moved to Israel. Family photographs and various official documents from their immigration and life in Canada are also included in the collection. This material formed the basis for the history-based writings of the donor, Shirley Sarah Bloomstone Angrist, a resident of Pittsburgh at the time of the initial donation in early 2001.
