Remembrance Day 2020: Correcting the gravestone of a fallen Canadian soldier

Global News published this video item, entitled “Remembrance Day 2020: Correcting the gravestone of a fallen Canadian soldier” – below is their description.

Thousands of individuals are buried in war-grave cemeteries, and many of the graves are marked with a name and a cross. But, not all of those who were killed were Christian. Seventy-five years after a Canadian flight officer was killed in action in the Second World War, his cross-marked tombstone will be changed to reflect his Jewish faith. Abigail Bimman has the story of the late Morley Ornstein’s new Star of David, which involved determination and collaboration by a Canadian journalist, a British researcher and historian and a 92-year-old childhood friend of Ornstein himself.
