Description: | Rose Grayman (b 1920) grew up in the East End in the 1920s and 1930s. Here, in conversation with Jenny Kallin of Bishopsgate Institute, she recalls her difficulties as a child speaking English rather than Yiddish at school. Yiddish was widely spoken among the Jewish community of the East End, most of whom had come to Britain to flee persecution in Eastern Europe. Mrs Grayman then goes on to describe the community that this wave of Jewish migrants built in the East End, and how it contrasts with the area's current immigrant community, the Bangladeshis. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Communities Identity and Icons Home and Family | Temporal: | 2007 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
