About the Book

WITH A NAME LIKE TUCHMACHER… starts at the beginning of the century when the author’s grandparents came to America to escape eastern Europe and partake in the American dream of a better life. In just one generation LILA SNOW and her husband GEORGE A. SNOW went from immigrant families living in Brooklyn and the Bronx to the international life of physics, academia and the art world. The sharp contrast in different cultures is brought into focus by the keen eye and humor of the author.
