as Chapter 1 of the book in exactly the same, unedited form as he wrote
it in 1928. After coming to the U.S., he graduated with honors from the
University of Pittsburgh, became a Federal investigator and played a
major role in the investigation and prosecution of the Salad Oil fraud
in Bayonne, NJ. Despite extensive traveling for his Civil Service work,
he managed to participate in civic and volunteer work in the several
locations where he lived and he was a proud and devoted father and husband. Sylvia Weiss, Isadore's wife was an at-home mother, active in the PTA, Scouting, League of Women Voters, and fund-raising for various charitable and civic organizations. Later, she started the Senior Citizen program in her town, and served as councilwoman in East
Windsor, N.J. and on the National Board of Elderhostel. In recognition
of her, the Mayor of East Windsor established an annual award in her
name. Dr. Eamon Doherty is a tenured professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University and studied Russian History with Dr. Alan Ball at Marquette University and provides commentary throughout the book to tie much of the material together. Contributing authors Todd Liebesfeld, J.D., and Joel Liebesfeld provide well documented research on anti-Semitism in Ukraine. William "Pat" Schuber describes the political upheaval in
Russia from 1914-1923, and Lew Meixler supplies geographic, social and
demographic information about the Ukranian town and region where Isadore and his family lived.view less
