7. Old money? Like Holocaust survivors? Completely untrue.

I'm from Skokie, and first, it's mostly middle to upper middle class. The wealthy Jewish people in the North Shore mostly lived in suburbs farther north.
The money that they had was generally new money - first and second generation wealth. The people I knew like my friend group were children of Holocaust survivors or had grandparents, like me, who came from Eastern Europe with just the shirts on their backs.

I remember the Nazis wanting to March. I was in high school. Skokie was on the map. The Naxi leader was charged with pedophilia.
