- History / Biographical
- Founded by Boruch (Benjamin) Applebaum prior to 1930, B. Appelbaum & Son was a tinsmith and sheet metal business located at 306 Murray Street, Ottawa. The business specialized in making garbage cans with corrugated sides, stove pipes, and furnace metals. The business was family run, at times employing Boruch’s brother Pinhey (Pinchus) Applebaum as well as Boruch’s daughters who worked in the office, including daughter Ann who is remembered as having good business sense. The Applebaums lived in an apartment above the business which was a very noisy arrangement. Boruch’s son Harold Applebaum eventually became a partner and inherited the business. Harold Applebaum married Goldie Reva Bodovsky. Overtime the business declined due to new technologies in metal work and manufacturing. Boruch Applebaum’s parents were immigrants to Ottawa. Moses Applebaum was a junk dealer, carpenter and shamus at Machzikei Hadas Synagogue, 259 Murray Street. He and his wife Edith (Baker) Applebaum had five children: Jacob Gershon Applebaum, Boruch Applebaum, Rachel Baker, Pinchus Applebaum and Motel Applebaum. Jacob Gershon Applebaum married Rebecca Rubenstein on September 3, 1911. They had five children: Harold (Harry), Norman Michael (Applebaum) Appleton, Sydney Herbert (Applebaum) Appleton, Eva Ruth (Applebaum) Wexler (b. Ottawa 1912), and Beatrice Joyce (Applebaum) Rodman. Pinchus Applebaum married Fay Azaroff in 1926 or 1927. They had three daughters: Dorothy (Applebaum) Hymes, Ethel (Applebaum) Eptstein, and Mildred. Fay Azaroff was a Ukrainian orphan rescued by Lillian Freiman’s group. After the war, some of the Applebaum family members changed their names to Appleton when they relocated elsewhere.

- History / Biographical
- Nathan Benditsky was born in Montreal on June 28th, 1918. He was one of six children born to Israel and Esther Benditsky who had emigrated from Russia in 1908. After beginning to work in family's textile trimmings business, he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941 along with his two brothers Samuel and Rubin. Soon stationed overseas, he met Ruth Schrager and in October 1945, the two married in Manchester, England. Travelling back to Canada in 1946, Nathan Benditsky returned to the family business, Star Pleating Inc. Nathan ran the company alongisde his brother Samuel and father, Israel. The business continued into the late 1990's moving from Rue Alymer to Mount-Royal Avenue. Ruth Benditsky (nee Schrager) was born on May 10th, 1927 in Vienna. Her parents Mortiz and Rachel Schrager, and sister Mirjam Zimmerman (nee Schrager) moved to England in 1937. After marrying, Ruth Benditsky waited a number of months before recieving her travel arrangements from the Canadian Wives' Bureau. Alongside thousands of other women, she immigrated to Canada in July 1946. Numerous relationships were initiated during World War II between Canadian military personnel and citizens living in areas where the military was stationed. Though such relationships were officially discouraged by the military, many nonetheless resulted in marriage. In 1946 the majority of newly-wed women, and some men, travelled to Canada to join their partners following the war. The estimated 48,000 war brides that made the transatlantic trip represented a significant influx of new immigrants from Britian, as well as the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy and Germany. Once Ruth and Nathan Benditsky were reunited in Montreal, they worked to bring Ruth's family to North America. Moritz and Rachel Schrager, as well as Ruth's grandmother, Rivka Monath, settled in Montreal in the late 1940's. Ruth and Nathan Benditsky raised three children, Howard Benditsky, Suzan Baron and Naomi Benditsky. Ruth Benditsky died in 1980, survived by Nathan Benditsky, who died in 1999.
