ABOUT
In the late 1960s New York City, Samuel “Sammy Gold” Goldman served as the unassuming bookkeeper for the notorious Russo Crime Family. However, Sammy had a secret that could jeopardize his life – he was a hidden Jew.
Born into a Jewish family in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Sammy concealed his heritage and adopted an Italian-American persona to thrive in the criminal underworld. Despite the risk, Sammy’s meticulous bookkeeping and financial expertise were vital to the Russo Family’s operations.
Only a few trusted confidants within the family were aware of his dual identity, and Sammy lived on borrowed time, balancing his loyalty to the mafia and his Jewish heritage. His story is one of resilience and duality in a world filled with danger and deception.
