Philip Roth, David Mamet, Alfred Kazin and other noted writers lugged their manual typewriters to his New York City repair shop, where he helped them keep the computer age at bay for years. He was a Polish-born Jew who survived five Nazi concentration camps and learned to repair typewriters after the war in Munich, Germany. He arrived in New York in 1949.
