Frank Gehry
Frank Gehry was born on February 28 in 1929 with the name Ephraim Owen Goldberg. In Toronto, Canada his mother Thelma gave birth to him. Although he was born in Canada he was a resident in the United States as well. His father Irving Goldberg kept a strong Polish and Jewish heritage. Frank’s mother came from Poland with her parents. She was a part of the Jewish Women’s Organization as she raised Frank. On the other hand Frank’s father Ephraim was born to Polish immigrants in Brooklyn, New York. As a young boy Frank followed in his father's footsteps. At the age of 11 his father died so Frank began to fight in the streets for money just like his father. Irving had lots of jobs around the country but when he moved to Canada to take a job he met Thelma Frank's mother. After Frank's father grew sick Frank and his mother moved with the rest of the Goldberg family located in Los Angeles, California.
