Free online history festival: Jewish life in small communities 15–25 March

From Hilary Thomas: "Connecting Small Histories” takes the bold step of drawing the footprint of Jewish life in what are now small or former communities across the United Kingdom. Through stories and memories, we identify the Jewish legacy in the local economies and culture, beginning with six very different locations, Eastbourne, St Annes, Bradford, Sunderland, Cumbria and Somerset. After almost twelve months of work, our History Festival begins the telling of these “Small Histories”, bringing both them and a wide selection of projects from our Heritage Hub to a wider public.   Over a series of daytime and evening events, our programme brings together storytellers, academics, Jewish heritage project teams, and volunteers to paint a picture of Jewish life and heritage spread wide across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. We are inviting you to join us! Simply, click here to view the festival programme and to register your attendance. Best wishes, The Connecting Small Histories...
