Morris Zapruder was the brother of Abraham Zapruder, who witnessed the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, and unexpectedly captured the assassination on film with his Bell & Howell home-movie camera, a piece of film later dubbed the "Zapruder film". In 1918, Morris left hometown of Kovel for Warsaw with his family. At some point during the journey, Morris was pulled off a train and murdered in front of his family, apparently by Polish guards. Documents regarding if Morris received a burial and/or where he was buried are not available.
