Irving Graifman

My parents Michael and Anna Stern grew up in Poland with Irving Graifman and his brother Alex, so I can not remember a moment in time when Irving was not part of my world. Like many of the Jewish children growing up in Skokie our families were destroyed by the Holocaust but I was very fortunate my parents had the best group of landsman in the world. They lived in Skokie together and when they moved to Florida they moved to Tamarac within blocks of each other.

My family always enjoyed...
