Oral history interview with Soli Jackson who was born in Winnipeg, 1923. His mother was born in Deliatyn, Poland then a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now part of Ukraine. He moved to Vancouver in 1946. His brother Davey served in the Royal Canadian Air force and his brother Alex served in the Winnipeg Light Infantry, while Soli joined the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve in 1943. After having children Soli gradually became more active in Peretz School, where he noticed yearly deceases in contributions by the Jewish Federation to Peretz Schul and advocated against selling Peretz's property if the Jewish Community Federation of Canada had any stake in it for complete lack of supporting Peretz.
