The Jewish con man who hustled Hitler

Hustling Hitler is subtitled "The Jewish Vaudevillian Who Fooled the Führer." That’s accurate as far as it goes. But when he died, the obituary in Variety described Freeman Bernstein as a con man -- with a heart of gold. He was much more than a vaudevillian. That’s according to Walter Shapiro, Bernstein’s nephew, who’s writing about his ninth presidential campaign for Roll Call. He’s also the author of this intriguing story about his family.
