I became a military intelligence analyst, a copywriter in the heyday of major ad agencies, then an international creative director. My wife and I, scuba divers, lived on St. Barth's in the French West Indies. In my family memoir you meet a famous cantor and composer, two on the kindertransport, a concentration camp survivor, a disillusioned Zionist whose brother helped create Israel, Hollywood movie star and Guinness world record holder, family members in 17 countries.
