Isaac Cherniak, age 81, was born in 1893 in Russia and came to Canada in 1913. He talks about: his education at a technical school before immigrating to Canada; deciding to leave Russia because there was no way for a Jew to earn a living in Russia and he did not want to join the Russian army; his training as a builder of agricultural machinery, a skill that proved useless in Canada; moving to Winnipeg, where his aunt and uncle lived; going to school in Winnipeg to learn English; having trouble finding a job; various jobs he had, such as delivering newspapers and parcels, and working in a wholesale grocery; quitting his job during the First World War because he was refused a raise, and going into business with another man; selling his business after the war because his creditors did not pay him back; moving to Alaska and Saskatchewan; buying a store and giving credit to farmers, who had trouble paying their bills; selling his store; his marriage; moving to Brandon, Manitoba and buying another business; more about his life in Winnipeg; how the war brought employment and prosperity; the Depression of the 1930s; going back to Russia in 1929 to visit his family; small town life in Russia at that time; his mother telling him about the Russian revolution; more about the jobs he had when he settled in Winnipeg; more about his education in Russia; memories of his family in Russia; the hardships faced by immigrants to Canada; the difficulty some immigrants had in farming; anti-semitism; how hard it was to earn a living and save money; his plan to send for his brothers in Russia and their decision to remain in Russia because they were already established there.
