He was my great, great grandfather, My sister, Nancy Bachrach (she adopted his name) and can be reached through her website: nancybachrach.com. She unearthed a lot of information about him – I wish I had known him as does my sister and brother, Len Horovitz, MD (lenhorovitz.com
I am the youngest of our siblings, Ellen G Horovitz, (yogartherapy.com) and was lucky to be partially raised by his youngest daughter ( of 13! ) Leah Isis Billingkoff.
He was my great grandfather, through his daughter Dorothy Brauer, and my 98/year old mom Joan Alpert. My brothers Jon and Andy loved Nancy’s memoir. You can see how low the family has sunk by visiting my website, http://www.billalpert.org or Jon’s documentary non-profit at http://www.dctvny.org
