Curatorial Note:

Several Ruby family members have participated in the Oral History Project over the years. In addition to Rondine Volpert, the Museum recorded interviews with Jack Ruby's late brother, Earl, as well as Earl's daughter, Joyce Ruby Berman, and Fred Ruby, one of Jack Ruby's nephews. The consensus among these individuals is that Jack Ruby's murder of Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963 had a long-lasting emotional and financial impact on the entire Ruby family. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
