Jewish Gangsters in America: A sociological, psychological, and historic perspective presented by Helene Herman, lecturer for Lifelong Learners.

But they were good to their mothers...
Learn about the rise and fall of Jewish gangsters who dominated crime from the 1920s until the end of World War II. We will explore famous crime figures like Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky and organizations (e.g., Murder, Inc., and The Brownsville Boys).  We will learn about lesser-known fascinating characters such as Gangy Cohen, Waxy Gordon, Moe Annenberg, Longey Swillman, and others. 

This lecture will help us understand the cultural drivers that created this group and ultimately led to their decline and integration into American society.

This event includes lunch. Please register below by 12/10/25.
