- Authors
Tobe, Sarah H.
- Abstract
The article portrays the lifestyle of Hannah Director and her family in the earliest days in the city of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. It cites the economic difficulty the family encountered at the outset of the Great War and their move to subsistence farming on a homestead. It notes that the Director and Maurice Cohen family are the fellow squatter in Prince Rupert wherein they started out as peddlers. It states that Prince Rupert prospered as the town's population increased which led to the formation of the Bet Yaacov congregation. It adds that the Jewish community raised a sizable amount for the development of the new Prince Rupert General Hospital. The Directors hosted musical evenings and their home became a centre for the social and cultural life of the community
