Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is from the
JGSGB Dutch & Sephardi Special Interest Group (D&S SIG) by Zoom.
• Date: Sunday January 17th 2021
• Time: 14:00 London; 09:00 New York; 16:00 Jerusalem
• Title: Genesis: An Indian Childhood – a beginning and an ending
• Speaker: Margery Cohen
• Description: Margery Cohen was born in Bombay (now Mumbai) to parents of Baghdadi origin. She will talk to us about what it was like growing up in India, within a very mixed cultural society, in the twilight years of the Raj.
.
Margery went back to Mumbai on a tour organised by Jewish Renaissance, and was inspired to write an article for Jewish Renaissance about her childhood and early memories. It was her first trip back to her birthplace after 45 years. For the first time since she lived there, she was able to visit her former home, school and the graves of her grandparents. She will talk to us about her family origins, her life growing up in India, and the end of that thriving community.
