Description: | This tailoring workshop in Soho belonged to Mr Cohen. Among his employees were sisters Rosie Blau (back, left) and Sarah Avrutin (later Pressberg) (back, third from left, seated). Rosie Blau (n��e Avrutin, 1891-1972), came to England from Russia, alone at the age of 18. She worked as dressmaker, earning enough to bring her parents and siblings over to join her. Her husband Max (1893-1959) came to England from Galicia at the age of 13. He joined the Kings Royal Rifles in 1915 and served as an interpreter at German POW camps. He married Rose in 1919 and they had three daughters. The family lived in Ganton Street and Dufours Place, Soho. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Out of copyright.
