Matthew's family project is called Family, Faith and Resilience, and it is dedicated to his grandfather, Sol Goldkind, a Holocaust survivor. He chose to document Sol's incredible life story before arriving in Canada to inspire hope in others. This project is meaningful to Matthew because it is the journey of his ancestors and honours their memory. Despite losing his father, a Polish soldier at 9 months and arriving in Canada with only $100, Sol's faith in Judaism gave him hope and guided his family values of derech eretz, zionism and kavod. The chess set is Matthew's grandfather’s favourite game. He taught Matthew how to play and it represents the strategies he used to overcome his life challenges. The building represents Sol’s relatives, The Korolnek’s, founders of the Eitz Chaim Schools in Toronto, who sponsored him so he could stay in Canada. It also represents his synagogue and the business he built which employs 650 people. This project documents the Goldkind and Korolnek families’ contribution to the fabric of Jewish life in Toronto.
