The Book of Knee: 100 Years of an American Jewish Family

About this ebook
Cynthia Rawitch
Cynthia (Knee) Rawitch first became interested in writing a family history–memoir after a 2013 visit to the Polish shtetl where her father and his siblings lived before emigrating to America in the 1920s. Ongoing conversations with her cousins focused the idea on the impact of the Sundays they spent together as children in New York. Writing comes fairly naturally to Rawitch, as she started her professional career in the late 1960s as a reporter for The Associated Press. She retired in 2015 as a professor of journalism and vice provost at California State University, Northridge. The mother of three grown children and six grandchildren, Rawitch lives in Southern California with her husband, Bob, and their two dogs, Anderson Cooper and Katharine Graham.
