Harry David Zutz

Harry David Zutz (1917-2008) was a second-generation Russian American insurance executive. Though he initially struggled to find work in the middle of the Great Depression, Zutz entered the insurance business as an office agent for U.S. Fidelity and Insurance Guarantee Co. He was able to open his own agency in 1940, and this business expanded into the international scene. In addition to his business interests, Zutz was also heavily invested in civic and Jewish life. He frequently lent his support to political campaigns and was involved with numerous organizations such as United Way and the Jewish Federation of Delaware.

In this interview, Zutz describes his early life, experiences during the Great Depression, and his time in the insurance business.
