History / Biographical
The Jacobson family of Westmount, Quebec was composed of Percy Jacobson, his wife May, and four children; Edith (m. Low-Beer, d. 2007), Joseph (Joe) d. 1942, Janet (m. Smith), and Peter, d. 1937, of leukemia. Born in 1886, Percy Jacobson was a businessman dealing in office equipment, as well as a writer and a leader in the writers' association PEN (Poets, Essayists and Novelists). From 1939 to 1949 Percy Jacobson typed a nearly daily diary in which he portrayed Montreal's view of the World War II era along with his comments on the news, overheard conversations, his son Joe's involvement in the armed forces, and the Holocaust. A prolific playwright, Jacobson often wrote on historical themes, and saw some of his plays published and performed. He was involved in various Jewish organizations, such as the CJC Rehabilitation Committee for war veterans. He died in 1952. Born in 1918, Joseph (Joe) Jacobson enlisted for service in the Royal Canadian Air Force in July 1940 after graduating from McGill University, where he played for the football team and was a member of a fraternity. He received his military training at Toronto, Ontario; Regina and Mossbank, Saskatchewan; and Rivers, Manitoba. In May 1941 he went overseas with the first large group of men trained under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan and was attached to R.A.F. bomber squadron No. 106. Joe Jacobson notified his parents of his promotion from sergeant observer to Flight Sergeant only two days before he was reported missing and presumed dead on January 28, 1942. He had completed 23 operations on enemy targets. His Montreal friends Montague (Monty) Berger and Gerald Smith enlisted in the RCAF in 1941, and Herbert Rosenstein (Ross), also of Montreal, enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942. These friends had met at McGill University in ca. 1937, and styled themselves as the 'Pony Club' in ca. September 1939. 'Pony' was an anagram for Preston, Ontario, and New York City, where club members were located during the winter of 1939-1940 when they began their correspondence. Joe's parents, Percy and May Jacobson, were made honorary members of the club in ca. late 1941.
Custodial History
The initial portion of the Percy Jacobson papers was donated in 1990 by Edith Jacobson Low-Beer, through Monty Berger. The Percy and Joe Jacobson papers donated in 2012 were donated by Janet Jacobson Smith and her children Jo-Anne and Peter Kwass; and the children of Edith Low-Beer, Susan and Jane Low-Beer, via Peter Usher. The digital versions of the Joe Jacobson papers, as well as a folder of Jacobson letters previously in the possession of Monty Berger, were donated by Peter Usher. Additions to the Joe Jacobson papers were made by the family in May and October 2013, along with additional digital copies by Peter Usher.
Notes
Availability of other formats: Almost the entire Joe Jacobson portion of this collection has been digitized and is available in PDF document format. Researchers are encouraged to consult these digital copies instead of the fragile originals.
