Gene Simmons (born Chaim Witz on 25 August 1949) is an Israeli-born American hard rock bass guitarist and vocalist...


Simmons was born in Israel, and at the age of eight he immigrated to New York City, United States, with his mother Florence Klein—a Jewish Hungarian immigrant and the only member of her family to survive the Holocaust. His father also Jewish, Feri Witz, had abandoned his family years earlier. When Simmons was young, his mother's long absences while working two jobs in order to make ends meet left emotional scars which left him with a strong desire for wealth. After arriving in the U.S., he took the name Eugene Klein (later Gene Klein), Klein being his mother's maiden name. In the late-1960s, he changed his name again, to Gene Simmons.



I'm in no mood to Google it, but I think Ms. Klein was specifically held at Bergen-Belsen:



And I think I saw the pic Zen's referring to. In which case, yeah, she WAS hot.

One thing that always made me laugh was David Lee Roth's claim, ca. 1984, that he was the ONLY Jewish Rock Star.
