and his philanthropic ideals.
And his good heart swelled to
greater proportions, inspiring
him to a dedication to service
in behalf of Israel when, in 1948
he visited the displaced persons
camps and the Jewish State, to-
gether with a delegation from
the United Jewish Appeal.
From that year on, he has

clid and Hamilton—the first be-
ing the Broadway Market—and
from these developed the chains
of super-markets. Holtzman Sz
& Silverman have since Then
constructed 11,000 homes in De-
troit.
