David Croll

Born in Europe in 1900, David Croll immigrated to Canada as a young boy and worked his way up from selling newspapers to owning his own newsstand, eventually earning his law degree in 1925. His rise continued when he became the first Jewish mayor of an Ontario city—Windsor—in 1930, and later the first Canadian Jewish minister of the Crown, serving in labor and public welfare roles. During World War II, Croll left his political positions to enlist and ultimately rose through the military ranks to colonel while also representing Toronto-Spadina in the House of Commons.

Major Benjamin Dunkelman earned the Distinguished Service Order for his extraordinary bravery during the clearance of Balberger Wald on March 5, 1945.

William Nelson

Flight Lieutenant William Henry Nelson's path to the Royal Air Force began with a childhood passion for model aircraft and took him from Montreal across the Atlantic to join the RAF in 1936, where he eventually became a valued member of the first bomber squadron to fly over enemy territory. When war erupted, Nelson's keen eye and quick reporting of enemy balloon barrages earned him the Distinguished Flying Cross and the distinction of being the first Canadian Jew to receive that honor during the conflict. His story is one of determination overcoming obstacles and service driven by courage.
