When Helena and Cornelius Wall, and their five children packed for their journey from Russia to Canada in 1930, they found room for a rather unusual item. Among their possessions, they carefully packed a fragile piece of art that had belonged to Helena's father, Jacob Isaac, a hair wreath. Enjoy the rest of the story as told by Conrad Stoesz from The Mennonite Heritage Archives in Winnipeg and pictures of the art piece below!
