That's why Samuel Jacob Donen's RCAF log book went back to Ottawa, and was placed in the Jewish airman's military files, where it sat for nearly seven decades. The family never knew it existed. I found it. On the eve of Remembrance Day, 2015. Here is the story.
Thanks to Bernie Bellan at the Jewish Post and News in Winnipeg for publishing it this week.
