Come early and have dinner before the event. Ms. Dietzen's new book, "Gypsy Music Street," is a memoir; a family history about love, loss and the endless ramifications of the Holocaust through the generations that followed. The story delves into what it means to be a child of immigrants, a caregiver for an aged parent, and the occasionally exasperating mother/daughter relationship that will resonate with many readers.
After her mother's death, the author embraced her mother's dream of seeing the town of her birth and youth just one more time. Ms. Dietzen made an extraordinary journey to Hungary and Ukraine to explore her family history. In light of the recent political unrest unfolding in the part of the world, she is very happy she decided to travel to Eastern Europe when she did.
"Gypsy Music Street"is available in print or as an ebook on Amazon.

She will be discussing and reading from her critically-acclaimed new novel, "Havana Lost," that evening.
The novel begins in the pre-revolutionary Havana of 1958, where we first meet Francesca Pacelli, the restless and beautiful eighteen year old daughter of a Mafioso casino owner. Soon Francesca is swept away in a passionate love affair with a young Cuban revolutionary, in which the consequences of that affair transform her life and the lives of others near and dear to her forever.

Imagine a United States where swastikas hang proudly in meeting rooms across the country. Proud uniformed fascists parade in the streets of major American cities. "Swastika Nation" is the true story of the German-American Bund, who, in the late 1930s was led by Fritz Kuhn. It was a small but powerful pro-Hitler movement. Instead of winning American hearts and minds, Kuhn and his followers attracted powerful enemies including New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, District Attorney(and future presidential candidate) Thomas Dewey, newspaper bulldog Walter Winchell, and Jewish mobsters Meyer Lansky, Abner "Longy" Zwillman and Mickey Cohen.

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Fifty years
ago in the summer of 1963, Chicago-born Allan Sherman’s “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh” was the
worldwide hit that marked the peak of Sherman’s extraordinary fame. On Memorial
Day evening, May 27, at 7pm, Max and Benny’s has a very special treat<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for you as we celebrate the 50<sup>th</sup>
anniversary of that memorable song by having as our speaking guest Mark Cohen,
the author of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Overweight Sensation: The
Life and Comedy of Allan Sherman</i>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Overweight Sensation</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> is the first biography of the “My
Son” song parodist whose Jewish comedy proved what today we take for granted:
that ethnic Jewish humor is not “too Jewish” and can in fact succeed with a
broad American audience. Author Mark Cohen will discuss Sherman’s life, play
recordings on Sherman’s famous and great Jewish song parodies and also play
lost recordings of Sherman singing his parodies of Broadway musicals including
“Seventy-Six Sol Cohens,” “When You Walk Through the Bronx,” and “There is
Nothing Like a Lox.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This will be
Mr. Cohen’s only appearance in the Chicago area. The event is free. If
you need any additional information please contact Richard Reeder at </span><a href="mailto:richardreeder34@gmail.com"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">richardreeder34@gmail.com</span></a><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> or 847-542-4624. </span></div>

Our next featured author in the Chicago Jewish Authors Literary Series is Skokie resident Jerry Jaffe, who will be appearing at Max and Benny's on Monday evening, April 15, at 7:00 pm. Jerry's eighty-four years on earth (so far!) have been fueled by insatiable curiosity and a commitment to pursuing his dreams. A journalist, artist, military veteran, scriptwriter, and world traveler who possesses three master's degrees and speaks five languages, Jerry returned to his first love, writing, after teaching college for 30 years. His first novel, <i>One More Time, Jennie Darling</i>, was published by i.Universe in September 2012 after having been earmarked for publication by Doubleday many years ago, only to be turned down at the very last minute. Jerry's personal story is truly one of patience, and of triumph over adversity.
