Isaak Toews was gifted in languages; he could read and write German, he learned English at the Midnight Collegiate Institute in Gretna and he could read and write Ukrainian, Russian and French. In 1942, Isaac's life took a mysterious turn when he took a job as a translator with the federal government. On episode six of Still Speaking, Archivist Conrad Stoesz from the Mennonite Heritage Archives in Winnipeg outlines the interesting life of Isaak Toews, a translator.
