The Life of "Jew Minnie" Clark
Widely known in Prohibition Era western New York as "Jew Minnie," Minnie Leventhal was an eastern European immigrant to the Buffalo area who associated with some powerful organized criminals and ran speakeasies and hotels. Minnie was believed to have been romantically involved with both Buffalo crime boss Giuseppe DiCarlo and his son Joseph DiCarlo. We have added a biography of Minnie Clark to the DiCarlo book website: http://buffalomob.blogspot.com/2013/0...
