The Borscht Belt

Marty Schneit will delight and entertain us with his unique and humorous firsthand tales of a remarkable time and place known as The Borscht Belt. Marty, who worked at many of the hotels during this period, will relive the history of a bygone era as he explores such sites as Grossingers, The Concord and Kutcher’s. He will also look at the humor of Red Buttons, George Burns, Sid Caesar, Henny Youngman and Milton Berle. Additionally, he will examine the cause of the Borscht Belt’s decline.
