"To be devoured in one non-stop gulp...fascinating reading."—The New York Post From 1919 to 1986, Grossinger's Catskill Resort Hotel provided a summer retreat from the city heat for New York's Jews, and entertained the great, the near-great, and the not so great, Jews and Gentiles alike. A melting pot of the Borscht Belt, sports, and show-biz worlds, loyal visitors included Red Buttons, Rocky Marciano, Eddie Fisher, and Jackie Robinson. Tania Grossinger grew up there. In her fascinating insider's account of life in the hospitality industry, she sheds light on how hotel children keep up with the frenetic pace of life, and how they come to grips with the outside world (which intrudes now and again), sex (happening in every room), and, occasionally, their intellectual interests. Growing Up at Grossinger's is both a wonderful coming-of-age story and a sentimental reading of a chapter of the Jewish experience in America that has now closed. 25 b/w photographs.Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs.

This was an interesting memoir that provided a unique perspective of living year-around at a Catskill resort in the '40s-'50s. Tania Grossinger's father was a Grossinger cousin who died when she was young. Her Viennese mother then went on to become a successful business woman in California, but was eventually convinced by one of the owners of Grossinger's to come work there as a social hostess. It was a demanding, time-consuming job, and she and Tania did not have the money or privileges that some of the other Grossinger family members had. They were also usually given poor room accomodations. Nevertheless, life was not dull or slow at Grossinger's. Most of the author's childhood was spent with other children, which was normal back then, as well as with those who worked at and visited Grossinger's, not with her mother.Her highly educated mother was tired at the end of the day and obviously wanted quiet time. Plus, she simply did not involve herself that deeply in her daughter's life. This is not a mommy bashing memoir, however. It's actually a mostly upbeat look at both the exciting and mundane things that go on at resort, that has countless guest coming and going all year long. It's looked at both from a child's perspective and from the perspective of the adult Tania, who went on to attend Brandeis University. Happy to finally get away, the author would one day look back and view Grossinger's as home. It wasn't a perfect home or perfect childhood, but both were hers.
