Publisher's Synopsis
This is a wonderful new resource book for those carrying out research into their Jewish roots in England. Plashet Cemetery was opened in 1896 and contains the burials of many of the residents of the East End of London. These are not the famous people of London - rather the general citizens. Enjoy a walk thru the streets of East London with local boot-makers, cap-makers, cigarette and cigar makers, mattress makers, tailors and seamstresses, feather curlers and even the occasional diamond broker. Explore what life was like for the Jews of the East End of London at the end of the 19th Century.
