MAKEUP TIPS FROM AUSCHWITZ
How Vanity Saved My Mother’s Life
Whose Job
is it Exactly to Keep my Mom Happy?
Tommy
Schnurmacher’s memoir details the foibles of his tumultuous relationship with
his Holocaust survivor Mom who looked like Elizabeth Taylor and sounded like
Zsa Zsa Gabor!
The book is available worldwide in print and digital format
Tommy Schnurmacher has written a book that
could change your life. It changed his.
As a writer, Montreal media icon Schnurmacher is an intense force of nature, a seismic swell of visceral empathy, laser-sharp wit and courageous self-analysis.
Now meet Olga. Auschwitz prisoner A-25057, aka Mom, A fearless, dramatic and unpredictable maverick. An original.
Exposing the souls of a family for all to see,
Make-up Tips from Auschwitz is an addictive page-turner. Schnurmacher's voice
resonates with a lyrical cadence all his own and an unsettling candor
reminiscent of humorist David Sedaris and essayist Augusten Burroughs.
Like the Oscar-winning film, Life is Beautiful, Schnurmacher revisits the Holocaust with rays of light in the darkness.
Sparkling with chutzpah and charm, this is a
story of a family's cultural collision and delightful dysfunction. With the
growing pains of Shtisel, the earthiness of The Simpsons and the fierce family
loyalty of The Sopranos, these newcomers from Hungary defy authority. They
figured out early on that conventional values were not enough. It was their
moxie that allowed them to succeed.
Schmooze with the passing parade that includes
John Lennon, Elizabeth Taylor and Crystal Nacht. You will laugh out loud as you
meet a cast of supporting characters who redefine eccentric: the 50-minute
therapist, the psychic rabbi and a superstitious hypochondriac named Paris.
Once you get to know these mutineers from the
mainstream, you will want to organize an intervention. Or at least a Passover
Seder.
