Myron Sugarman is the author of the paperback book The Chronicles of The Last Jewish Gangster: From Meyer to Myron. It is was published in 2019 and is available at Amazon.com.[10] The following is an excerpt from his book:
I was the architect that single-handedly revived the new gambling machine business in New Jersey and New York in the 1970s, a business that spread across the United States and abroad.
I spoke the foreign languages of the many different ethnic groups in whose neighborhoods I did business…but more important, I was fluent in the language of the coin-operated machine industry and the lingua franca of the streets.
I was baptized in these waters the day after my bris – the Jewish circumcision ceremony that takes place on the eighth day following the birth of a baby boy.
And even before that, from the very moment of conception, while I was still in my mother’s womb, I was hearing the sound of gambling machines, saloons, gin mills, nightclubs, espresso houses and goulash joints.
Myron Sugerman, with the help of Simon Wiesenthal, attempted to hunt down Josef Mengele in Paraguay.
Mengele was nicknamed "The Angel Of Death" and was involved in the Holocaust. Sugermen is also a supporter of Israel.
