Herman Revinsky, Hanged March 11th, 1930 at the Regina Gaol for the Saskatchewan Sand Dunes Murder)

At 12:33 AM on Tuesday, March 11th, 1930, Herman Revinsky, a 23 year old Jewish man from Hamilton, Ontario, was hanged at the Regina Jail for the murder of his employer, David Katz, near Carmichael, Saskatchewan, on or about June 10th, 1928, a crime that was to become known as “the Sand Dunes Murder” as the body was buried in a shallow grave in Saskatchewan’s sand-dune country.
A mystery surrounds Revinsky’s final resting place; the Regina Leader-Post wrote that “Revinsky would be buried in Regina with full rites of the Hebrew faith” - but he is not listed in the Regina cemetery database, which does list all the hanged men buried in Potter’s Field.
