The area most closely associated with the Deitsch – Kutnowski families was within the triangle of towns formed by Płock, Kutno and Włocławek. Gostynin was at the centre of this triangle.

Kluska Family

There were four brothers; they all survived the Holocaust. Their parents, Yona and Baijla, and their two sisters and families, were murdered.

One brother went to Israel after surviving the Shoah and is A I Kluska from the Wloclawek Yizkor book. He wrote the pages about Lubraniec. A I was a kosher butcher in Tel Aviv.

Kalman and his wife Dora, along with their two surviving children, Baruch and Lilliana, moved to Israel after their son Janush's untimely death. They settled on a moshav near Hadera (located in the Haifa District).

One other brother, Henry, came to Israel on the Altalena. Henry jumped back on the boat when it was fired on to help the wounded; he later joined the IDF as a commander. Henry married, lived in Jerusalem, and then came to Chicago and settled in LA. (He gave testimony to the Spielberg Shoah survivors collection, as did Gordon).

The fourth brother Gutman/Gordon came and lived in the Chicago area and had a barbershop in the Albany Park area for many years. They were named Klasky in the United States.
