Jews Killed In Action 2 Brothers Among Victims; City Represented by Over I25 Jewish Soldiers The recent return of Pvt. Jo- seph Brenner of the Canadian Army to his home in Windsor, following his release from a Na- zi prison camp in- the first ex- change of war prisoners, this week brought to light the un- usually large number of Jews from Windsor now serving in the Canadian forces. Windsor—whose Jewish popu- lation numbers less than 1,000 families—is represented by more than 125 Jews, as of September, 1943, according to a list obtained by Rabbi Benjamin Groner of Shaar Hashomayin Synagogue. So far, four have given their lives and many have met the enemy and have been wounded. Pvt. Brenner, whose family re- sides at 435 E. Sandwich St., Windsor, .was one of nine mem- bers of the Essex Scottish Regi-, ment which suffered heavy loss- es in the historic and costly raid on Dieppe a year ago last Au- gust, who returned to Windsor together. Captured by the Nazis, they spent 14 months in German prison camps. 2 Brothers Killed Two of the Windsor Jews killed in action so far are two of four brothers in the service, Pilot Joseph Cherkinsky and Sgt. Arthur Cherkinsky. The other two heroes who lost their lives are Pvt. Samuel Ber- ger and A/c2 Leonard Feldman. Cherkinsky, 24, was killed an operational flight over gland on May 5, 1943. He was to rest in the Canadian Mil- itary Cemetery at Evesham, Eng. Sgt. Cherkinsky, 26, a flight en- gineer, lost his life over the Eng- lish Channel while returning from the first British bombing raid over Berlin, March 1, 1943: He was buried in Holland. (Hol- land is occupied territory). 3rd Brother in RCAF A third brother, Pvt. Murray Cherkinsky is a gunner in the Canadian army. Leading Air Craftsman Alec Cherkinsky re- cently was honorably discharged from the RCAF. Their mother resides on Cataraqui St. Many Windsor families are represented by two sons in the Canadian forces, the Bercussons, the Feldmans, the Fogels, the goldens, the Harrises, the Katz- mans, the Levines, the Orecklins, the Pierces, the Raetzens and many others.
