can't believe hymie kugel was a real guy and not an unused character name from the draft script of literally every mel brooks movie
Another Zwillman associate, Hymie Kugel, would also tolerate no slurs against Jews. Though a small man, standing only five feet two inches, Hymie was fast, tough as nails and afraid of no one.

In de jaren dertig waren de Joden de grootste tegenstanders in Amerika van het fascistische geweld in Duitsland. De #Minutemen was een actiegroep in Newark die vooral bestond uit Amerikanen met een Joodse achtergrond. #Zwillman #Arno

Taking it slowly and this guy gets namedropped - Longie was a Jewish mobster and jukebox racketeer who set up an anti-fascist goon squad who would go around beating up New Jersey Nazis in the 30's. I kinda want guys like him back

"According to writers on organized crime, the Syndicate was an idea of Johnny "Fox" Torrio, and was founded or established at a May 1929 conference in Atlantic City. It was attended by leading underworld figures throughout the United States, including Torrio, Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Al "Big Al" Capone, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, Frank "Prime Minister" Costello, Meyer "Little Man" Lansky, Joe "Joey A" Adonis, Dutch Schultz, Abner "Longie" Zwillman, Louis "Lepke" Buchalter, Gambino crime family head Vincent Mangano, Atlantic City Crime Syndicate boss Nucky Johnson, gambler Frank Erickson, Frank Scalice, and Albert "Mad Hatter" Anastasia. Others described the Atlantic City meeting as a coordination and strategy conference for bootleggers. According to the findings of the United States Senate Special Committee in the 1950s, chaired by Estes Kefauver, the National Crime Syndicate was a confederation of mainly Italian and Jewish organized crime groups throughout the United States."
