Edith Flagg Obituary

November 1, 1919 - August 13, 2014 Holocaust survivor, Dutch resistance fighter, fashion designer, and philanthropist. Edith Feurstein was born in 1919 in Galati, Rumania. She was very close to her parents and her sister, Martha Blumenfeld. At fifteen years old Edith moved to Vienna to attend fashion school. When Hitler invaded Vienna, Edith went with Hans Stein to Holland. Hans and Edith married and both became members of the Dutch resistance. Their son, Michael Hans Flagg, was born in Holland in 1943. Hans was captured by the Nazis and died at the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945. While working in the Dutch Underground, Edith met Eric Flagg and at the end of the war they married. Eric then moved to the United States and Edith and Michael moved to Palestine and lived on a kibbutz. Edith and Michael followed Eric to the United States and while Eric worked in New York Edith and Michael moved to San Francisco and lived with Hans' parents. Edith, Eric and Michael then moved to Los Angeles in 1949 where Edith worked in fashion related jobs until she earned enough money to build a fashion business with Eric. She was the designer and President of Edith Flagg, Inc. and at the height of the business, Edith Flagg Inc. was one of the largest womens' sportswear manufacturers in California. One of her greatest accomplishments was bringing polyester to the United States. Edith was actively involved with the City of Hope, the United Jewish Welfare Fund and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she volunteered for many years. She was honored by many charities including Magen David Adom and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. She was a world traveler and visited fifty countries with her grandson, Josh Flagg. Edith is survived by her son Michael, daughter-in-law Cindy Flagg, granddaughter, Dana Marineau, her nephews Doron and Ilan Blumenfled along with their wives Rifka and Randi, and her cherished grandson, Josh Flagg. At Edith's request there will not be a funeral or reception. Any donations should be sent to United Jewish Fund or Cedars- Sinai Medical Center.

Makes me think all my problems looking for an apartment in Long Beach are zero compared to what this woman endured. Really puts my life into perspective. I have never watched this show before and I am just now watching it while working from home and decided to do some googling. wow. just wow. Amazing resilience.

I enjoyed the television episodes where Edith Flagg made a cameo appearance...She was the star of each of those shows! I would've loved to have really known her. Seeing her apartment's curated decor was impressive and extremely enviable. She had an extraordinary sense of style and each time, I looked forward to seeing what she would wear. After the television audience learned of her background, we became apprised of the tenacity this tiny lady possessed, it allowed her to endure, overcome monumental adversities and yet, succeed in life. She wouldn't allow herself to fail...What a person to admire and inspire.

I have watched you, Josh, since your first show. I was always in amazement at your humble attitude and this refined spirit in all that you do. Your precious grandmother, Edith, was such a joy in her wisdom and the special bond that you two share! She is such a blessing to this world. I feel your pain in missing the times shared with her in this physical, but temporary world. I have lost my grandparents over the years and also had this incredible, close relationship with my paternal grandmother, Florence Thelma who would have enjoyed visiting with Edith.

I still watch your old shows and keep up with you and the others on the show. I enjoy real estate and I believe that there should b courses offered at college by just watching your demeanor and class in every situation. You are such a delightful young man to watch and how your grandmother adores you Josh! Your parents and grandmother instilled character and honor in the person you are. I pray that God blesses you in all that you do and in a long & healthy life. Thank you Edith and Josh for teaching all of those who are your tv/media audience and ALL who have or will cross your path!
Sending love and best wishes! You and Edith will be reunited one day ! We love ya Josh!

She gained our admiration and was so inspirational in her own way. Your grandmother impacted our hearts.

If we all could keep apiece of EDITH with us we would all be successors. That strength, pride, compassion, dignity and determination she showed the world was just being herself. Her life was a continuous fight for the freedom she and others so truly deserved. Of course, she won her battle..A gentle giant with a powerful SOUL........THANKS FOR BRINGING EDITH into our lives....MUCH MUCH LOVE❤❤

I have watched MDL since the beginning and always enjoyed the parts of the show between you and your grandma. I am a grandma too that shares this very special bond with my grand daughter. Not many people get to experience such a beautiful thing. I would be so happy to live another 20 years with her. When I move on I hope I do not devastate her world. I want her to be happy and I know that's what your grandma wanted for you too. Remember, you are here to celebrate all that she gave to you. Please don't cry even though I don't know how to stop crying for you either.

Like many others, I got to know and love your Grandmother through Million Dollar Listing. In that brief time her personality & spirit came out and I could tell she was an incredible woman. I cannot imagine your sense of loss, but I hope knowing that you introduced her to so many who might other wise never have known her, and that now share in your grief...somehow eases your pain. You and the entire Flagg family have my deepest sympathies,

Dear Josh and Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your Grandmother Edith. I enjoyed you sharing your amazing Grandmother with us, she was an extraordinary Loving and Giving human being!!! With all she had been through and the painful losses she endured, she still had a vibrancy and capacity to Love. She had such a bright and beautiful spirit to Live Life with a kind and open heart. I enjoyed her from the moment I saw her love and nurture of you, her beloved Grandson,I too grew to love her as if she were mine too! I have known several survivors of the Holocaust, but she stood out as a leader of hope and kindness, inspite of the Terror she faced. I loved her relationship with you the most, I will always remember the way she respected, adored and most especially the way she loved you Josh !! She would place her hand along side of your face and immediately was able to calm your inner soul!! I will keep close to my heart my own beloved Grandmother, but now I will also keep Edith not only as an amazing example of how to be the best Grandmother ever, but as an amazing human being. Thank you so much for sharing her with all of us, Edith Flagg's Legacy will be extended to have touched and changed so many more lives because you loved her so, and shouted from the rooftops to let us know !!!! My sincere sorrow for her loss and know my prayers are with you now and always. Someday I will have the pleasure of meeting her in Heaven, where I know she has brightened tremendously !!
