Henry Green (born Heniek Gruenbaum, nicknamed Chaim, 1921-2012) was born on 21 February 1921 in a suburb of Łódź, Poland to Fishl and Sara Gruenbaum. He had one older brother, Joseph (c.1914-c.1997), and one older sister. His father owned two restaurants and was also a cantor. Henry was deported to the Łódź ghetto. He fled Poland for Russia and was in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) at the end of the war. His parents and sister all perished during the Holocaust. His brother Joseph survived in the Dachau concentration camp. Henry lived in Munich after the war. He immigrated to the United States in 1951 and settled in New York. Joseph also immigrated to the U.S., and they co-owned a suit factory. Henry married Anna Dzialoczynska (1930-2004), who also survived the Łódź ghetto, in 1953. They had three children: Jerrold (b. 1954), Sherry (b. 1959), and Bruce (b. 1961).
