Jennie Grossinger

Jennie Grossinger (June 16, 1892 – November 20, 1972) was a Jewish Austrian-American hotel executive and philanthropist. She was the hostess of one of the largest Borscht Belt resorts, Grossinger's Catskill Resort Hotel. Beginning from the 1930s, she started to give up many of her business responsibilities, and started to devote herself to philanthropic causes. In her life, she had received several honors and awards for her philanthropic and social services. Her life was immortalized by her generosity to the people who made her hotel great, the townies. In July 2025, executive producers and co-creators Harris Salomon and Alan Zweibel announced they were bringing a scripted TV series about the resort and Jennie Grossinger to American television. [1]
