"The Canadian Jewish Book Award jury at the Koffler Centre for the Arts has awarded They Called Me Mayer July the Samuel and Rose Cohen Memorial Award for best biography/memoir."
Citation: "Memory emerges from the shadows both orally and visually in this stunningly produced volume. Kirshenblatt’s naïf or folk art paintings of his memories of life in Apt, the Polish shtetl where he grew up, may be familiar to many; here they receive a full and rich presentation. The book contains dozens of full-colour and black-and-white reproductions of the drawings and paintings he produced in his home studio. Equally valuable are the stories that his daughter, an oral historian, coaxed out of him as he described the scenes in the paintings. Her own memoir of her family adds yet a third layer to the story of a family as it lived and changed through the twentieth century in Poland and Canada."
We are deeply honored by this award and delighted to have been part of the festive award ceremony on June 4, 2008, in Toronto. The awards celebrate “excellence in Canadian writing that reflects Jewish themes and subjects in history, fiction, Yiddish, theatre and other fields.” This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Canadian Jewish Book Awards.
