My Eccentric Family: Memories from a Communist, Mafioso, Zionist Past

Norman Cantor

This memoir recounts the adventures of growing up in the 1950's and '60's with unusual careerists as parents – his father, a dedicated Communist leader who accumulated a 900 page FBI file, and his mother, a pioneering lawyer promoting minority and civil rights. The memoir also chronicles Cantor’s own deep involvement in the Death with Dignity movement, as well as his experience as a liberal Zionist living in Israel. It includes encounters with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, mafia head Angelo Bruno, and Justice Thurgood Marshall. Available on kindle or in softcover at Amazon books.
