The life of one man whose actions wove a strand of compassion and morality into the fabric of Canada
The story of Morris Saxe, one man whose actions left their mark not only on the business and agricultural life of Ontario, but on the conscience of Canada.

He rescued 79 Jewish orphans from Europe and brought them to Canada.
