Biografie
Ray (Rafael) Goldberg was born in 1922 in Dembica, Poland, near Krakow (d. August 29th 2002). The Goldberg family lived in Poland for hundreds of years. Ray lived with his father Maurice, mother Fella, older brother Henry, sisters Henya and Dvorah, and Grandfather. Ray's father Maurice owned a lumber company and liquor store. In 1939, when the Nazis invaded Poland, Ray and his brother were taken to work camps and eventually to seven concentration camps in Poland and Germany, including Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. Their father, mother and sisters were all killed by the Nazis. Ray survived, but tragically, his brother Henry died during the British liberation in 1945: Ray found Henry's body on a pile of dead bodies. The Red Cross offered Holocaust survivors the opportunity to live in Sweden, but Ray was reluctant to leave without a proper burial for his brother. Ultimately, Ray spent a year in Orebro, Sweden suffering from pleurisy. Ray met his wife Trudy, a Holocaust survivor from Czechoslovakia, in Sweden where they were married in 1950. Ray and Trudy immigrated to Canada, arriving on the ship Queen Elizabeth, from England in 1951, landing in St. John, New Brunswick. They traveled by train to Winnipeg and then moved to Edmonton. Their son Henry Maurice Goldberg was born in 1952, named after Ray's brother and father. Henry's children are Deena, Paul and Michael. Daughter Jane was in born in 1957. Jane married Hersch Sobel, and their children are Corey and Derek. Ray worked for Dollar Cleaners, eventually becoming a manager. In 1957 he opened Hygienic Laundry and Shirt Service. Trudy passed away from ALS in 1976. Ray eventually remarried Shirley.
