86-year-old ex-gangster Myron Sugerman is coming to town to share his fascinating story of being "The Last Jewish Gangster".

From tackling antisemitism to Jewish education, strength, and pride, Myron shares valuable life lessons he gained from his unconventional upbringing.

About Myron

Born in 1938 in Newark, New Jersey, Myron was a lifetime member of the Jewish Mob, who worked directly for Meyer Lansky and Doc Stacher, and helped to forge strong relations with Charlie “Lucky” Luciano and the Italian Mob.

They collaborated in order to bring protection to the local Jewish communities from regular attacks from the American National “Bund” Nazi Party and its followers.

Known for his keen charm, energy, multi-lingual abilities and his fair hand, Myron is a legend of his time, and played a key role in hunting down and finding Nazi War criminals and protecting Jewish interests both in the US and abroad.

Due to his firm but fair negotiating skills, Myron was often placed as the deal maker for the Mob, and head of the ‘sit-downs’ between the mob counterparts. Also strong in his demeanour and firm in his actions, he was known for always acting in a fair and amicable manner.
