Inside the Lost Society of Polish Jewry By Allan Chernoff

In commemoration of Kristallnacht

Allan Chernoff will share with us stories from his book which was co-written with his mother.  Rena Margulies Chernoff was a young survivor of the Holocaust, and The Tailors of Tomaszow is a unique communal memoir and history of the survivors of Rena’s hometown, Tomaszow-Mazowiecki, Poland. The Tailors of Tomaszow  delivers a rare, unvarnished, and memorable account of Polish Jewry through the eyes of child and teenage survivors, before, during and after World War II.

Allan Chernoff, Former CNN and CNBC senior correspondent, is the CEO of Chernoff Communications, which provides writing, video production, and media strategy services to corporate and not-for-profit organizations.
