OPINION: Searching for Isadore Horowitz
Letter to the Editor
Dear Brooklyn Eagle,
On the week following International Holocaust Remembrance Day as we reflect upon and mourn the 6 million Jews who were victims of genocide, my thoughts turn a special serviceman from Brooklyn who gave his life fighting the Nazis.
His name was PFC Isidore I. Horowitz, and he served with the 51st Infantry Battalion, 4th Armored Division, which fought in Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland and Central Europe. Less than a month before Germany signed an unconditional surrender, Isidore was killed in action. He was 32 years old.
