JGSGB South & West London RG - 30 Jan 2022 2.30pm – with Simon Fowler – "Four out of six million: my search for my mother’s family in the Holocaust"
Our next Sunday meeting in our Virtual Meeting Programme is from the JGSGB South & West London Regional Group (SWL RG) by Zoom, on a Holocaust theme.
Date: Sunday 30 January 2022
• Time 14:30 London, 09.30 New York, 16:30 Jerusalem 15:30 Switzerland
• Title: "Four out of six million: my search for my mother’s family in the Holocaust"
• Speaker: Simon Fowler
• Description: Growing up Simon Fowler knew that his mother had arrived as a penniless 18-year-old schoolgirl in the days before war broke out in 1939. She was always reluctant to talk about her experiences, but since her death Simon has uncovered the fate of her immediate family. Their history is, of course, unique, but at the same time similar to that of millions of other victims. The talk will reveal what he has found, look at the sources used, and discuss some ethical issues that arose from the research.
