Jan Corash oral history interview

Identifier

OH-02226

Abstract

Oral history interview with Jan Corash conducted by David Schwartz on July 13, 2007 for the Remembering Jay Sarno Oral History Project. Corash talks about her uncle, casino developer Jay Sarno and more broadly, her extended family. She explains her grandparent's origins in the region of "The Pale" between Poland and Russia, how they immigrated to United States and the birth of Sarno and his siblings. She continues with a deeper discussion about sibling rivalry between the Sarno siblings, and how the personality traits that Jay Sarno learned from his family translated to his dealings with others. She discusses the family's connection to the mob, the fact that both Jay Sarno and his brother Herman were brilliant individuals, and the impact of all these things on Jay Sarno's hotel development plans.
