Post-Mortem Influence
Abrams' influence in the film industry continued for twenty years after his death. While in Boston, around 1912, Abrams had visited Edward Golden, a dentist, to have a tooth pulled. Golden was impressed with Abrams’ wealth.
Golden looked into the picture business, started promoting films, moved to Hollywood, and became very successful as a low-end (poverty row) producer. His biggest success, Hitler’s Children (1942), came during World War II; the film was a sensational quickie based on Gregor Ziemer's book, Education for Death (1941). Filmed for $200,000, it grossed $3.25 million.
