Abe Hirschfeld was born in Poland but moved to the British Mandate of
Palestine in the 1930s; he later claimed that most of his family died
during the Holocaust. He moved to the United States with his
family in the 1950s and made his first fortune on open-air parking
garages. Part of his fortune was used for his purchase of the
Hudson Theater in 1956.
In the year 2000, Hirschfeld was sentenced to three years in prison for
attempting to arrange the murder of one of his business partners, who
died before he had the chance to execute the murder. He served two
years in prison, during which time he developed a new diet and a plan
to build a new World Trade Center. He died in 2005 at Mount Sinai
Hospital from heart failure and cancer.
