Böcker av Leonard H Berman

The turbulent first half of the 20th Century finds the Chernov family coming to terms with the secrets revealed, as well as the responses to those secrets.  New York, Vienna, Berlin, Geneva, and Jerusalem, between the years 1904 through 1948, are the locations and dates that are the stage upon which the three generations of this family saga play out their roles.  As they become embroiled in the Labor Movement, The Jazz Age, Prohibition, The Stock Market Crash, The Depression, The Holocaust, World War II, and the founding of Israel, their tempestuous stories unfold.  Their world is inhabited by anarchists, anti-Semites, gangsters, hostile governments both in America and abroad, as they encounter and reveal outrageous economic and political duplicities.  Amid these, they find themselves choosing dangerous involvements that reveal their heroic natures at their core.  Readers will find Old and Full of Days challenging, and thought provoking as they encounter actual historical events not generally known to the public or long forgotten.
