Sinopsis

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.

Acerca del autor

Len Berman, born and raised in East New York, Brooklyn, grew up on the concrete pavement of Pitkin Avenue close to the Euclid Avenue subway stop. This ethnically mixed, blue-collar neighborhood, also provided the real-life people and background for the film, Goodfellas. After graduating from Brooklyn College in 1961, his professional career began as an English, drama, and humanities teacher, sixth grade through twelfth, for the New York City Board of Education. In 1969 he was invited by the New Jersey State Department of Education to be their State Consultant in Arts and Humanities. He continued his career with the department for twenty-seven years retiring in 1996 as a School's Program Coordinator supervising and nurturing seven school systems through regulatory processes. His career continued as an educational consultant, as a teacher of Judaica, as a writer, and as an advocate. He had two children with his first wife, and his second marriage in 1984 brought him three additional children. These five outstanding professional children presented him with nine outstanding and brilliant grandchildren.
