Obituary

Dan “Danny” Wolf, 77, proud owner of the Bagel Restaurant for 70 years. Dan was one of the few child survivors of the infamous Theresienstadt concentration camp. He came to America at an early age with his family and started to help out at the original Bagel Restaurant in Albany Park, which was started by his grandparents Chaim and Elsa Golenzer and his parents, Ruth and Edward Wolf. He typed the daily menus because he was the only family member that had mastered enough English at the time. Subsequently, he shepherded the Bagel through three locations, along with his late uncle Michael Golenzer. They wove it into the collective memory of generations of Chicagoans. In addition, Dan was active as local Commissioner and President of the East Lakeview Chamber of Commerce. He was a generous benefactor of many charities and causes. Dan is survived by his companion and spouse of over 60 years Mitchell Kaufman, his aunt Haya Golenzer and a host of friends who loved him. He was predeceased by his siblings Walter and Barbara. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a special fund in Dan’s memory at JCFS Chicago.
