A Key Friend

My Dad's twin sister, Jonė, emigrated to Canada in 1947. She, like many other DPs, first worked in Canada as a "domestic." Jonė took a job in Quebec.


Probably Quebec, Canada, around 1948. Here are three Eastern European DPs. All have arrived in Canada on the condition that they work as domestics. On the far right stands my Dad's twin sister, Jonė. In the middle is the good friend who introduced Jonė to her husband, Kadis.
