Biographical / Historical

Arleen (Rosenfeld) Silverlieb was born in Salem, MA, in 1939 to Celia (née Moskowitz, b. 1912 in Romanov, Ukraine) and Morris Rosenfeld (b. 1912 in Salem, MA). Arleen grew up in Lynn, MA, and attended the Practical Arts and Letters Program at Boston University before receiving her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. After receiving her master’s degree, she went on to work for the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center. She now lives in Swampscott, MA. Arleen remembers fondly her work as a teenager in a Lynn shoe factory (one of the largest and most important industries at the time) and spending much of her time at the Lynn Jewish Community Center. Her father was hugely influential in her life, as she remembers in her oral history interview.
