In The Family, a sweeping history unfolds through the lives of one Jewish lineage, tracing over a century of upheaval across three continents. Beginning with a Torah scribe and his wife in the Russian Empire, the narrative charts how global events reshaped family traditions and destinies.

A branch of the family immigrated to America and founded the Maidenform Bra Company; another settled in Palestine, contributing to the birth of Israel; while relatives who remained in Europe endured Nazi occupation. Against the backdrop of revolution, migration, and war, each generation faced profound choices that reflected the century’s social and political shifts.

Key Themes

  • Immigration and entrepreneurship in America
  • Pioneering life in pre-state Israel
  • Survival and loss during World War II
  • Interplay of tradition, faith, and modernity

With vivid storytelling and meticulous research, this powerful chronicle illuminates how personal stories intertwine with global history, offering a deeply human perspective on the twentieth century.
