From immigrant beginnings to wartime warnings, this memoir offers firsthand insight into a restless century.

This nonfiction work recounts Bernard Horwich’s eight decades across a changing world.

  • Explore Horwich’s immigrant experiences in Chicago, his business ventures, and how generosity shaped his decisions.
