Our volunteer of the week is Mykhailo Hondorf, a Ukrainian-Canadian from Montreal who was born circa 1915. A member of the Young Communist League, Hondorf was one of the 165 passengers, including 65 international volunteers, who died when the Ciudad de Barcelona was torpedoed on 30 May 1937. The Ciudad de Barcelona was sailing from Marseille to Spain when it was attacked by an Italian submarine and sank in just a few minutes.
