Rochester businessman and Holocaust survivor Simon Braitman died peacefully in his winter home in Florida earlier this month after a long illness. He was 90. He was the most caring, loving person you d ever meet, said his wife, Josephine Braitman, who was with her husband when he died March 2. He was so grateful to be alive, was so proud to be an American and simply could not care enough about the community. He did everything he could to give back.
Mr. Braitman helped found the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., which opened in 1993, and for decades attended reunions with the soldiers who liberated him.
