Moroccan Sephardic Migration to England in the 19th Century


During the 19th century many Sephardic families from the city of Mogador/Essaouira in Morocco migrated to England where they became part of the rich fabric of the Jewish community.

Sidney Corcos was born in Agadir, and left Morocco to go to Israel as a child. He served as director of the Natural History Museum in Jerusalem and is currently working on the new Beit Dakyra museum in Mogador/Essaouira. Sidney has done extensive research on the history and genealogy of his family and other Moroccan Sephardim.

Topic: Moroccan Sephardic Migration to England in the 19th Century

Time: Sunday Nov 22, 2020. 2pm NYC, 7pm London, 8pm Amsterdam/Paris, 9pm Jerusalem.
