Skokie, IL The Best Place To Grow Up
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I was thrilled when I found out about this book. Not only was it about my hometown but it was also about being a Jew. Having been a Jew in Skokie during the 60's, 70, & 80'sI was sheltered from the world around me until the Nazi's decided to march in 1977. This book covers not only the nazi's, but the community of Holocaust survivors as well as a mini history of the suburb.I thought I was the only one who thought Aunt Jemima was the real deal. An excellent read all around.
