JGSGB EE SIG – 16 Jan 2022 2pm – with Kenneth Collins – “Zev’s Children – An International Jewish Family”

Coming soon in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is a Zoom meeting from the JGSGB Eastern European Special Interest Group (EE SIG) on a Ukrainian theme. 

 

• Date: Sunday 16 Jan 2022
• Time: 14:00 London; 09:00 New York; 16:00 Jerusalem; 15:00 Switzerland
• Title: “Zev’s Children – An International Jewish Family”
• Speaker: Kenneth Collins
• Description: Kenneth Collins, the leading chronicler of Scotland’s Jews, and a medical historian, tells the story of his family from its origins in Ukraine in the first half of the eighteenth century. He follows the descendants of his great-grandfather Zev Kagarlitsky in Russia, America, Argentina, France, Israel, England and Scotland. Zev was born in a village near Kiev in 1854 and died in Tel Aviv in 1931.

There is a cast of colourful characters including Marxists in Russia, a Holocaust survivor in France, an unexpected death of a Soviet commercial agent in London, early Zionist pioneers and businessmen in Scotland and America.

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

After a short break, we will reconvene for our ever-popular Eastern European Workshop, where mentors will be on hand to answer your questions.
