Description: | Annetta Foreman (b 1923) grew up in the East End in the years preceding the Second World War. Here, in conversation with Mary Richards of Bishopsgate Institute, she talks of the death of her father from Tuberculosis when she was six. Because of crowded living conditions and a lack of antibiotics, Tuberculosis killed many people at this time. It was often known as the White Death. Mrs Foreman also speaks about the strong Jewish Community in the East End to which she belonged, and which was centred largely around the Spitalfields and Docklands areas. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Communities Home and Family | Temporal: | 2008 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
