Sinopsis

The story of three centuries of one family, the Poliachek/Pollock Family from Lida, Belarus, is a universal story but with some surprises. Research reveals authors and merchants, musicians and lawyers, artists and teachers, but there?s also the first knighted taxi driver, a gold panner, an early Chicago Zionist leader and a manager of an international pop singer. Five brothers of one family served in World War I. A Pollock might have taught Benny Goodman, another might have been a psychic and one almost became a male bathing suit model. This is the story of a family split between two continents and the chronicle of reunions almost a century in the making. This extensive, well-researched, illustrated book connects us to the past and preserves our history for the future.
