### "Murderers with a Warm Heart"
The fascinating and unique story of the Jewish mafia in the United States.
They were violent criminals who also adhered to tradition. Some harmed Jews, but also sent weapons to young Israel. They invented Las Vegas but did not establish a next generation for themselves. Arnold Rothstein, Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, and other mobsters who grew up in New York's slums were not ordinary people, nor were they ordinary criminals!!!
This is the story of the most complex individuals in the history of American Jewry.
