My American Dream
A Journey from Fascism to Freedom
Barbara Sommer Feigin
Five Star Press, 2024
“I have long known Barbara Feigin as a true pioneer in the world of advertising. A woman, in a world of men, who rose to positions of power and commanded respect. What I never knew was her remarkable life story. This book captures the most American of tales, achievement of the American dream-complete with an escape from the Nazis. It's a fascinating read, told with love and warmth."
