On November 3, 1942, Irwin Goodman was a father of two and a mathematics teacher at at William J. High School in Williamsburg, New York. He was heading to his morning classes down the stairs of the back hall when a shot rang out and went into his back. Two boys, who had dropped out of the school, had decided that on that day they would go back to give Goodman some lip. Instead of lip they took his life.

He was my ‘Uncle Goody”
Hello Naomi. I believe Irwin was my grandfather’s brother. How were you related? I have been working on our family tree.
I was in first grade at P.S. 49 when we learned of this murder. We were frightened and outraged by this unconscionable act with anti-Semitic overtones. Joseph Dorinson
