WILLIAM ELPERIN,

Written by adminTS on January 23, 2014

William Elperin was born in Munich, Germany, after the war to survivors of the Holocaust. When he was a young boy, Bill’s parents moved frequently—including stops in Haifa, Winnipeg and Denver—before settling in Los Angeles.

Bill went on to graduate from UCLA School of Law where he served on the Law Review. After graduation, he began practicing business litigation, and has since been named one of the Top 50 Lawyers in Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Business Journal.

In 1997, he was elected president of The 1939 Society. As the Society’s first 2nd-generation president, Bill has helped develop many new and innovative Holocaust education programs, including the Our Families exhibit and the Holocaust Art & Writing Contest. He continues in this role today.

Bill lives in Los Angeles with his wife Rosemary. They have a son and a daughter and four grandchildren.
