Show THE FOLLOWING IS AN I NTERVIEW WITH DR. LOUIS ZUCKER IN SALT LAKE CITY, OCTOBER 24, 1972. THE INTERVIEWERS ARE HYNDA RUDD AND RALPH DEROSE. LZ: About the Maimonides Cl ub, Abe Guss ha s preserved a reprint of the material that will g ive y ou exact particulars, vivid particulars, about the beginnings of it. Abe was from the first the dynamo of the club. That was before I came. Somewhere in 1929, 1930, or 1 931. I can't recall for sure now. I was asked if I would become advisor to the club. I do not recall by whom precisely. I was greatly pleased. I felt honored, naturally, and I said, "Yes." Abe was still one of the leaders, and I think Sam Bernstein and Abe Bernstein and Max Siegel probably at that time. You see, this was the generation that had been the young generation, the youth, in the mid-1920s. Their parents were the immigrants when they owned the club, these young men, I do not think any of them was married. But by 1930, I think they were all married, so they were the young marrieds. They were Montef iore people. I am not aware that anybody from B' nai Israel was a member. HR: Was Max Siegel? LZ: Yes, and I could be at error about Max. HR: Was Eva? LZ: Yes . But at that time the Siegels, if they were members of B'nai Israel, were of very minor importance . I trust 85 |
