Sinai Hospital (and "Uncle Jack" to Brett's wife, Alison). Jack grew up in Brooklyn after emigrating from Italy with his parents – both Holocaust survivors – and younger brother, Alfie in 1953. In the 1950s-60s, the Catskills bungalow colonies provided a safe, welcoming and carefree summer home for his family, like it did for many other Jewish immigrants who had lost their families in the old country. Jack talks about his warm memories of escaping the city to spend idyllic summers in the Catskill Mountains as a child & teen. http://jacobrozbruchmd.com
