He has also been credited by historians with the discovery of a new method of yarn production. Mania Piwnik was his granddaughter. His grandson and Mania's cousin, Samuel Abbe, opened a small factory, which the Nazis later turned into the infamous Radogoszcz prison—today the site of a museum.plain2015-10-15T21:34:50-07:00www.iub.edu/~lodzdsc/omeka-2.3.1Izaak Kersz, Szkice z dziejów Gminy Żydowskiej oraz cmentarza w Łodzi (Łódź: Oficyna Bibliofilow, 1996), 31.
