By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The story of the Kushner family is a familiar one, but one that was experienced by many Jews in World War II. Rae and her family were trapped in a ghetto in Poland, and she and her partner Joseph Berkowitz were forced to help build a tunnel that would allow them to escape.

#2 After the war, the Kushner family struggled to adjust to life in America. Their children lived a little bit of their lives, as their parents were constantly hiding.

#3 The Kushner family motto is Think like an immigrant, act like an immigrant, but what does that mean. The Kushners, who were survivors of the Holocaust, were taught that rules are for others. They didn't wait for the Nazis to come and liquidate them; they built a tunnel and escaped the ghetto.

#4 Charlie gradually took over his father’s business, and as he acquired more and more office space, he moved from a small basement office into two floors in Florham Park, New Jersey. He stenciled the names of senior executives on parking spots outside.
