Fragments of the lives and feelings experienced by members of Leicester’s Jewish and Polish communities are brought to light in this online exhibition through photographs they share with each other in an attempt to reconnect with their interrelated history and culture. Recovering Connections interweaves their visual impressions, reflections as well as individual and communal heritage, demonstrating the deep relationship between two communities who live in the same city but only rarely encounter one another.
My husband has created a collection of a few hundred books, predominantly books about the Second World War. It was that war which fragmented thousands of families throughout Europe, sending those who survived to seek refuge in other countries. England became our foster country, that we had grown to love and now cannot imagine living anywhere else.
