SJAC – A Long Life in the Making – Author Event – 2pm

SJAC – A Long Life in the Making – Coming of Age in the Jewish Gorbals and the East End of London between the wars

We are looking forward to a special author event featuring Phil Cohen, Emeritus Professor in the Centre for Cultural Studies at the University of East London, discussing his recent book, ‘A Long Life in the Making – Coming of age in the Jewish Gorbals and the East End of London between the wars’ (published by Eyeglass Books). The book is an illustrated edition of the memoirs of his father, Ben Cohen, and evokes a vibrant and close-knit Jewish immigrant community between the wars.

The book will be available for purchase at the event.

This a joint event with the Scottish Jewish Heritage Centre.

There will be an opportunity to view the displays of the SJAC after the author session.
