The Hotel on St. James Place
Growing up in Atlantic City between the Boardwalk and the Holocaust
Molly Golubcow

The heyday of Atlantic City was decades in the past.  By the 1970s it had become shabby, rundown and seedy.  However, for Holocaust survivors Sonia and Harry Golubcow, it had become a safe haven, where they had relocated and became proprietors of the Seacrest Hotel on St, James Place.  Having a front row seat to the colorful and quirky clientele was the Golubcow’s teenage daughter, Molly.  Here she recounts the humorous and sometime sad tales of the many of the down and out denizens of The Seacrest, and how the Golubcow family survived in a darker, misfit world of Atlantic City back in time.
