History / Biographical
This collection contains materials related to the life and death of Flight Sergeant Nathan Dlusy, and the personal and professional lives of his parents and brother. Israel and Regina (nee Cynamon) Dlusniewski emigrated from Poland to Germany in 1920. In Berlin Israel worked as a tailor in his own retail shop, establishing a successful men's clothing manufacturing business which sold products in multiple German haberdasheries and department stores. Their sons Nathan (1921-1944) and Jon (1928-2022) were both born in Berlin before the family fled the anti-semitism of Nazi Germany in 1938. The family settled in Montreal where Israel obtained employment in the clothing manufacturing industry, eventually establishing Earl Clothing with a partner. Nathan followed his father into the same business, but decided to enlist in the Canadian armed forces in 1941. Initially turned down due to his lack of Canadian citizenship, Nathan successfully passed the entrance requirement examinations in 1941 and enlisted in the Canadian air force. In 1942 Nathan officially changed his name from Dlusniewski to Dlusy. Once his training was completed, he was sent to Scotland to join a coastal command squadron. While returning from a patrol mission in poor weather conditions, Nathan and the rest of the 10-person crew crashed into a mountain, killing all on board the plane. At the air base, Nathan Dlusy's funeral was organized by a Jewish air force chaplain, who was a rabbi from Glasgow, and the entire Jewish community from the nearby town attended, as documented by various photographs and news clippings in this collection. At the time of his death, Nathan Dlusy was not a Canadian citizen. His brother Jon continued to request a posthumous declaration of Canadian citizenship from the government. Nathan Dlusy's sacrifice was recognized in Quebec's National Assembly, and the House of Commons in Ottawa in 2019. The collection also includes various instances of Nathan Dlusy's name honoured through donations, the Nathan Dlusy Chapter of Hadassah, and the Nathan Dlusy Respiratory Unit at Mount Sinai Hospital in Montreal, Quebec. Jon Dlusy died at 94, in March of 2022.
Custodial History
The collection was donated on March 15, 2023 by Shawn Apel, estate executor for the Dlusy Family collection.

Notes
Tefillin are two small parchment-filled boxes with straps attached to them. Jewish men are required to place one box on their head and tie the other one on their arm each weekday morning during prayer. Tefillin are biblical in origin and are commanded within the context of several laws outlining a Jew's relationship to God: see Deuteronomy 6:5-8. The text that is inserted inside the two boxes of Tefillin is handwritten by a scribe and consists of the four sets of Biblical verses in which Tefillin are commanded (Exodus 13:1-10, 11-16; Deuteronomy 6:4 -9, 11:13-21). Putting on Tefillin is the first mitzvah (commandment) assumed by a Jewish male upon his Bar Mitzvah. The wearing of Tefillin is optional for women.
