About
Abraham Zapruder was an American manufacturer of women's clothing best known for filming the "Zapruder film," a home-movie documentation of the November 22, 1963 assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, as the President's motorcade drove through Dealey Plaza, in Dallas, Texas. Zapruder's film is one of the most famous segments of film footage ever produced. Zapruder was born on May 15, 1905 into a Russian Jewish family in the city of Kovel, the Russian Empire. He received only four years of formal education in Russia. In 1920, amid the turmoil of the Russian Civil War, his family emigrated to the United States, settling in Brooklyn, New York. Studying English at night, he found work as a clothing pattern maker in Manhattan's garment district. He and his wife Lillian married in 1933 and had two children. In 1941, Zapruder moved to Dallas to work for Nardis, a local sportswear company. In 1949 he co-founded Jennifer Juniors, Inc., producing the Chalet and Jennifer Juniors brands. His offices were in the Dal-Tex Building, directly across the street east of the Texas School Book Depository.
