South East Essex RG – 28 June 2020 2pm – with Anne Marcus – “The Prayer Books in the Attic – a Genealogical Mystery”

Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is from the JGSGB South East Essex Regional Group (SEE RG) by Zoom.

Date June 28th 2020. Time 14:00 London. Title: “The Prayer Books in the Attic – a Genealogical Mystery”. Speaker: Anne Marcus. Description: At the February meeting of the South East Essex Group Anne Marcus, group convenor, was handed two old Jewish war issue prayer books. They were found in an attic locally by someone moving out of a house. Who did they belong to? Who were the names mentioned inside? How did the books get into the attic of a house in Southend-on-Sea? As an avid genealogist and crime fiction fan this was a challenge Anne couldn’t refuse. At the meeting Anne will reveal what she discovered, showing the genealogical resources she used along the way.


After the talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A on the talk.

Please email chairman@jgsgb.org.uk if you’d like to join, so that we get an idea of numbers. The invitation is below, but please keep it to yourself!

Julian will discuss not just David's family and commercial life, but also his social and communal activities. David Baruch Louzada travels took him to Livorno, France, Amsterdam, and across the Atlantic to Barbados at a time when most people rarely went more than a day's walk from home. Julian's research illustrates available resources. Time: Sunday Jan 3, 2021. 2pm NYC, 7pm London, 8pm Amsterdam/Paris, 9pm Jerusalem.

Sephardic World - The Dutch Pimentel family - History and Holocaust - Sunday 10 Jan 2021

From Ton Tielen and David Mendoza: "This week we bring you three expert speakers. The Pimentel are one of the oldest Sephardic families in The Netherlands. Henk Dijkman will discuss the family history, stretching back to Medieval Spain. Fokko Weerstra tells the story of Jacques Pimentel during the Shoah. Along with some other Sephardim, he tried to use his distant Catholic ancestry to escape deportation to Poland by the Nazis. Esther Shaya discusses Henriette Pimentel - one of the unsung heroes of the Holocaust - who saved the lives of six hundred children being held prisoner at the Hollandsche Schouwburg-theatre. We are hoping to trace people saved by Henriette and their family members. If you know anyone, please forward this message.
