Memories of We Five: 1930 - 1950

By Vladimir Borodin

A down-to-earth account of one family growing up in New York City's underbelly, its struggles during the decade-long Great Depression, the War years, and the slow post-WWII recovery. The locations in this profusely illustrated volume include Long Island City, Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, and Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Readers will meet extraordinary personalities, including Albert Einstein and the Konenkovs on one end of the spectrum, and a Ms Alice Griffin and Flora Wismer on a more intimate level, and will be charmed and enlightened by the inventive ways the Borodins overcame their meager wages and ghetto schools. How the family surmounted the multiple problems imposed on it should prove uniquely entertaining.
