Who is Julius Roazen?

Born to Morris and Sarah Roazen, Julius (known as Julie) immigrated from the Russian countryside to the booming metropolis of Boston, Massachusetts in 1900. Julius and his three brothers worked for the family business, leaving a distinct impact on the Greater-Boston area and laying the groundwork for the next generation of the Roazen family.
