Lodz, Poland, is where Abraham Greenberg was born on 9 September 1934. In the interwar period Lodz had grown into one of Poland's principal centers of textile manufacturing, and it had one of the largest Jewish communities in the country.
He was four years old when the Second World War began in 1939, a period that profoundly changed Polish cities and their populations. The documented facts of his early life are limited to his birth and origin in Lodz.
Greenberg worked as a partner at Advocates, a law firm with an office in Tel Aviv, Israel. A partner in a law firm is a member of the firm's ownership group, sharing in its management and in the legal practice conducted under its name.
Tel Aviv grew out of Ahuzat Bayit, a Jewish residential neighborhood founded in 1909 on the sands north of the port city of Jaffa. The neighborhood's name survives in the street on which the firm's address is located, and the city expanded into a major commercial and legal center of modern Israel.
