Bugsy Siegel
Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel (February 28, 1906〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VG5L-TDQ )〕 – June 20, 1947) was a Jewish American mobster. Siegel was known as one of the most "infamous and feared gangsters of his day".〔 According to an FBI report, Siegel's reputation of individuals fearing him was acknowledged because "he thought nothing of grabbing a gun and shooting someone when they crossed him".〕 Described as handsome and charismatic, he became one of the first front-page-celebrity gangsters. He was also a driving force behind the development of the Las Vegas Strip.〔 Siegel was not only influential within the Jewish mob but, like his friend and fellow gangster Meyer Lansky, he also held significant influence within the Italian-American Mafia and the largely Italian-Jewish National Crime Syndicate.
Siegel was one of the founders and leaders of Murder, Incorporated〔 and became a bootlegger during Prohibition. After Prohibition was repealed in 1933, he turned to gambling. In 1936, he left New York and moved to California. His time as a mobster (although he eventually ran his own operations) was mainly as a hitman and muscle, as he was noted for his prowess with guns and violence. In 1939, Siegel was tried for the murder of fellow mobster Harry Greenberg. Siegel was acquitted in 1942.
Siegel traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada where he handled and financed some of the original casinos. He assisted developer William Wilkerson's Flamingo Hotel after Wilkerson ran out of funds.〔Wilkerson III, ''The Man Who Invented Las Vegas''. (2000). p. 141〕 Siegel took over the project and managed the final stages of construction. The Flamingo opened on December 26, 1946 to poor reception and soon closed. It reopened in March 1947 with a finished hotel. Three months later, on June 20, 1947, Siegel was shot dead at the Beverly Hills home of his girlfriend, Virginia Hill.
==Early life==
Benjamin Siegel〔 was born on February 28, 1906 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to a poor Jewish family from Letychiv,〔Chapin, David A. and Weinstock, Ben, The Road from Letichev: The history and culture of a forgotten Jewish community in Eastern Europe, Volume 2. ISBN 0-595-00667-1 iUniverse, Lincoln, NE, 2000.〕 Podolia Governorate of the Russian Empire, in modern Ukraine. However, other sources〔"Mobsters: Bugsy Siegel". 2 minutes in. Broadcast: April 3, 2007, The Biography Channel.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.essortment.com/benjamin-bugsy-siegel-biography-gangster-20596.html )〕 state that his family came from Austria. His parents, Max and Jennie, constantly worked for meager wages. Siegel, the second of five children, vowed that he would rise above that life.〔 As a boy, Siegel dropped out of school and joined a gang on Lafayette Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. He committed mainly thefts, until he met Moe Sedway. With Sedway, Siegel developed a protection racket where pushcart merchants were forced to pay him a dollar or he would incinerate their merchandise. Siegel had a criminal record that included armed robbery, rape and murder dating back to his teenage years.〔Gribben, Mark. ("Bugsy Siegel – The Sociopath" ) ''TruTv''. Crime Library.
