Dear Robert

The cover copy describes the book as follows
"From Here to Obscurity tells the story of the now lost Jewish East En d of London through the eyes of Shulem, an immigrant from Poland, hi s wife Rivka, and Yulus, their English born youngest son. It takes u s through the turbulent years in London from 1933 to 1945, through pov erty, fascist incursions, evacuation and targeted war-time
bombings by Hitler's luftwaffe that destroyed the infrastructure of th is one time thriving East London Yiddish-speaking community, forcing i ts ultimate dispersion. Shulem's relatives are lost in the Holocaust a nd many of Yulus's friends are killed by the last German V-2 rocket t o fall on London. Despite all this trauma, 'From Here to Obscurity' i s an uplifting tale of human warmth, humor and solidarity in the mids t of overwhelming global forces."
