Willie Yablon (Wolf Jabłonkiewicz)
Willie Yablon was born in Częstochowa and lived at Aleja 8. He is the son of Berisz and Chawa née Fiszhof. In 1926, he left Częstochowa and came to Canada, where he settled in Montreal. In 1930, he married Adela Goldberg, a native of Łódź. They have three children - two sons and a daughter. He stems from a family, which was renowned in Częstochowa for its communal activities. Over the course of all the years, until the outbreak of the Second World War, he was in continuous correspondence with his family and landsleit in Częstochowa. Then, all correspondence and contact with the countries occupied and annexed by Hitler’s regime was cut off and, also obviously, with his hometown of Częstochowa. Willie Yablon searched for an opportunity to aid the Częstochowa survivors. Therefore, along with other respected landsleit, he helped establish the Czenstochover and Vicinity Aid Society of Montreal and held the position of Chairman of the Relief Committee. He performed his duties and tasks with great devotion and selflessness. Willie Yablon is one of the Society’s Seniors and is always prepared for any call to assist the Society organisationally and financially.
