Lillian Oppenheimer
Lillian Rose Vorhaus Kruskal Oppenheimer (October 24, 1898 in New York City – July 24, 1992) was an American origami pioneer.〔(David Lister on Lillian Oppenheimer and Her Friends )〕 She popularized origami in the West starting in the 1950s, and is credited〔(Two Miscellaneous Collections of Jottings on the History of Origami: Part One )〕 with popularizing the Japanese term ''origami'' in English-speaking circles, which gradually supplanted the literal translation ''paper folding'' that had been used earlier. In the 1960s she co-wrote several popular books on origami with Shari Lewis.
Lillian Oppenheimer ran an informal group of dedicated folders in the New York City area, which eventually became The Friends of the Origami Center of America (FOCA), which in turn became OrigamiUSA in 1994.〔(History of OrigamiUSA )〕
Oppenheimer was born to a Jewish family of Austrian, Hungarian, and Czech origin, the daughter of Bernard Vorhaus, an attorney who made a living importing furs.〔(American Jewish Archives: "Two Baltic Families Who Came to America The Jacobsons and the Kruskals, 1870-1970" by RICHARD D. BROWN ) January 24, 1972〕 Oppenheimer is the mother of William, Molly, Rosaly, Martin, and Joseph.〔 The three sons were all prominent mathematicians.
