Beschreibung
Spanning three centuries, this vivid narrative explores the rise of Birmingham's Jewish community through the lens of its magnificent Grade II listed Singers Hill Synagogue, built in 1856. From the early Jewish families of the seventeenth century to the industrious artisans and entrepreneurs of the Victorian era, the book uncovers a world of tailors, jewellers, cinema pioneers and renowned professionals who helped to shape the city's character. Woven throughout is the author's own family story: a grandfather's journey from Lithuania, a marriage forged at Singers Hill, and childhood memories of the demanding Victorian Hebrew School. A rich portrait of a community and a city transformed - and of the places and people whose stories deserve to be remembered.
