Dan Wolf (1945 – July 2022) was a Holocaust survivor and third generation owner of the Bagel, a Jewish deli in Chicago. Founded in the early 1950s, his first job there was typing up the menus when he was seven years old because he was the only family member who was fluent in English.[1]

He was active in the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce for over 35 years.[1]

Biography[edit]

Wolf was born in 1945 in Theresienstadt, a Czech WWII concentration camp. When he was four years old, he and his parents, Ruth and Edward Wolf, and grandparents Chaim and Elsa Golenzer, emigrated to the United States. They opened the Bagel in 1950 in Albany Park, Chicago. In 1992, they relocated to Lakeview.[1] They also had a location in Skokie.[2] The Skokie location opened in 1987 and closed in 2018.[3]

He was married for 60 years to Mitchell Kaufman.[1]

Wolf died July 1, 2022 (Chicago (magazine) says he died July 3[4]) at the age of 77.[5]

He was buried in Arlington Heights, Illinois at Shalom Memorial Park.[6]

Honors and awards[edit]

Dan, who went by Danny, was posthumously inducted into the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame.[7]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
