Norbert Macdonald

Bio

Norbert was born in 1925, the last of six children in Stellarton, Nova Scotia. Encouraged by his high school teachers to go to college he and his best friend applied to Acadia University and were accepted. He received his BSC in Chemistry in 1946 and went to work for the CNR in Montreal. He also was accepted to Dalhousie medical school but after discovering that science was not for him, he returned to Acadia for a degree in History, an MA at Brown University, and a PhD at the University of Washington in Seattle. His first teaching appointment was at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. At a History Convention in Seattle in 1960 he met Dean Soward who was looking for a U.S. Historian. Norb, being a Canadian, was delighted to return to Canada and teach at U.B.C. where he stayed until his retirement in 1990. His book Distant Neighbors, a comparative study of Seattle and Vancouver, was published in 1987.

Norbert died on April 1, 2015 in Salmon Arm. Obituary, Vancouver Sun, April 10, 2015.

Bogdan Czaykowski

Bio

CZAYKOWSKI Bogdan Edward. On August 16, 2007, after an 8-month struggle with lung cancer, Bogdan Czaykowski passed away peacefully in Vancouver at the age of 75. He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Jadwiga (nee Januszajtis), by his daughter Ewa (Iain Higgins), and by his son Piotr (Anne Worley). He liked to spoil his grandchildren, Stefan, Nicholas and Helena. Bogdan was born in 1932 in what was then Eastern Poland. He was deported with his family to Siberia in 1940. His father died in a concentration camp, and he lost his brother to starvation. His long journey through central Asia and India ended in England, where he arrived in 1948. He began his literary career in London, and received post-secondary and graduate education at University College, Dublin, and the University of London. In 1962 he accepted a position in the Department of Slavonic Studies at the University of British Columbia. He eventually became head of the department for 14 years. He remained active at UBC almost until his death, still teaching classes after his 70th birthday. His academic career culminated in a UBC Killam Prize for Excellence in Teaching in 1996. He had a profound interest in language, literature, history and culture, delighted in intellectual discourse of any nature, and was a critically acclaimed Polish language poet. It was his accomplishments on the literary front that were the focus of his life, and he was thrilled to have a volume of his selected poems published in Poland just prior to his death. He will also be remembered for his support of several generations of Polish immigrants to British Columbia. The family would particularly like to thank Andrzej, Wila and Eva Busza for their unswerving friendship and unbelievable support, and Krysia, Andrzej and Kathy Endelman for their wonderful loyalty over the years, and especially over the last 8 months. The family is also grateful to Dr. Nevin Murray and the staff of the BC Cancer Agency, Vancouver Centre, Dr. John Mail, and to all the doctors, nurses and others on wards 11A and the Palliative Care Unit at Vancouver General Hospital. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the BC Cancer Foundation.

John Conway

Bio

John Conway (1929-2017) was born in London, England, and took all his studies at St John’s College Cambridge. He emigrated to Canada in 1955 and taught International Relations for two years at the University of Manitoba. In 1957 he joined the Department of History at UBC, and continued teaching Modern European History and International Relations until 1995.

In 1998 he was appointed the Smallman Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Department of History at the University of Western Ontario. His principal scholarly work was to research the role of the German Churches in the 1930s and 1940s, as a result of which he wrote his book The Nazi Persecution of the Churches 1933-1945, which was first published in Britain in 1968, and subsequently was translated into German, French and Spanish, and was reissued in 1997. His researches took him frequently to Germany, which he visited almost every year, including several sabbatical periods at various German universities.

In 1970 he was a founding member of the Scholars’ Conference on the German Church and the Holocaust, and wrote a large number of articles dealing with the role of the European churches and the Vatican during the Holocaust, as well as on the topic of Christian-Jewish relations during the twentieth century. He paid three visits to Israel, and lectured at the Yad Vashem Memorial Foundation in Jerusalem in 1993.

In 1995 he became the Director of the Association of Contemporary Church Historians, and editor of its monthly Newsletter which has a worldwide audience and is available on e-mail. He was also a member of the editorial boards of the journals Kirchliche Zeitgeschichte and the Journal of Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

John Conway played an active part in several associations connected with international relations in Vancouver, including being Chairman of the Vancouver Branch of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs, and of the United Nations Association. For ten years he was the executive vice-chairman of the Tibetan Refugee Aid Society of Canada, and in this connection paid several visits to India. In 1977 he was awarded the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Medal for his services. He also served as a member of the Anglican Diocese of New Westminster’s Refugee Liaison Committee. On the UBC campus, he was long associated with the Student Christian Movement, and the World University Service, for which he acted for many years as the Faculty Advisor. He served for many years as the editor of the Newsletter of the Association of Contemporary Church Historians. He was also a faithful member of St James’ Anglican Parish, Vancouver.

Dr. Conway, noted scholar and researcher in modern Church History, passed away on June 23, 2017.

János Bak

János Bak was born in Budapest in 1929 and lived there until he left Hungary after the Hungarian uprising of 1956.  He received his PhD at the University of Göttingen in Germany and after a few years moved briefly to the United and then to Canada to begin his career at UBC in 1968.   His research interests included rituals of rulership in medieval Europe as well as various aspects of central European medieval history and peasant studies.  UBC benefited greatly from his vast network of contacts in medieval history, which he drew on to host a variety of stimulating workshops and conferences on our campus.  After he retired from UBC in 1993, he returned to Hungary and began a new career as a founding member of the Department of Medieval Studies at the Central European University in Budapest, from which he retired in 2007.  He died in Budapest on June 18, 2020.

For a synopsis of his long and productive career, see the obituary by his CEU colleagues at https://www.ceu.edu/article/2020-06-19/janos-m-bak-1929-2020
