EMANUEL “MUNI” MARK, 95,
died peacefully at home on Nov, 24,
2015, in Chicago.
Born in Libova, Latvia, in 1920,
the first son of the Yiddish lexicog-
rapher Yudl Mark, Muni was raised
and steeped in the secular Yiddish
world of Latvia and Lithuania
His mother, Bluma, died after a
long illness when Muni was 14. Yudl
and Muni moved to the U.S. in 1936,
taking advantage of Hitler’s tempo-
rary opening of the borders for the
Berlin Olympics.
Muni served in the U.S. Army
from 1942-1945. A radio operator
in Patton’s third army, he received
the Purple Heart after being seri-
ously wounded in battle on Sept. 17,
1944. Seventy years to the day after
his injury, a piece of shrapnel was
removed from his chest during a
pacemaker procedure.
Muni’s work as a Yiddish teacher
took him to Akron, Chicago, the
Bronx and Detroit. In Detroit from
1954-1980, he was director of Camp
Farband, an organizer for the Labor
Zionist movement and a director of
fundraising for the Jewish Welfare
Federation, completing his career
at UJA-Federation in New York in
1985.
Anchored in his love of the Jewish
world, he embodied the social
justice ideals of Labor Zionism,
expanding that love to all people.
