Churchill And The Jewsby Martin Gilbert Read by Derek Pugh (1 Cd) Martin Gilbert explores a fascinating new aspect of the life and work of Winston Churchill and his relationship with the Jews during more than fifty years and sheds new light on his thoughts and decisions. Churchill's father Randolph was berated by associates because of his friendship with individual Jews. Winston Churchill would take this friendship further into the public domain and was a supporter of the Balfour Declaration promising a restoration of the Land of Israel to it's ancient inhabitants the Jews. Churchill was an early opponent of Hitler and he based his opposition mainly on his hatred of the racist and anti-semitic features of Nazism. This is clear from the fact that Churchill admired Mussolini in the 1920s, he found Hitler to be a monster and he was prescient in his view that Hitler's rule would lead to mass killing and suppression of the Jews. Churchill supported efforts to save Jews in the Second World War. After the war, in the wake of the Lehi and Irgun Jewish underground attacks on the British forces in Palestine, Churchill still remained a supporter of Zionism and supported recognition of Israel and opposed Nasser.

No. 1569 Denazificationby Helen Fry Read by Derina Dinkin (1 Cd) A fascinating account byGerman 'Enemy Aliens' who were categorised by the British Army as 'Friendly Aliens'.

A must-read to learn of the bravery of these fellow Jews many of whom are still alive.
by Rachel Lichtenstein Read by Anita Boston "Diamond Street: The Hidden World of Hatton Garden" by Rachel Lichtenstein, who is personally connected to the area, (her family run a jewellery business there), and professionally, (as an artist archivist of London's streets). Rachel Lichtenstein is uniquely placed to explore the extra-ordinary history of this mysterious quarter, with its ancient burial sites, diamond workshops, underground vaults, subterranean rivers, monastic dynasties, and forgotten places. Moving beyond Hatton Garden itself into parts of Clerkenwell; Holborn and Farringdon the author follows the perimater of the original estate which once bordered the lost River Fleet. Guided on her walks by archeologists, sewer flushers, artists, goldsmiths, geologists and visionaries of the city such as Iain Sinclair, the author crosses the same territory repeatedly. On her journey the author meets up with many craftsmen in the various workshops who provide her with many ancedotes relating to the colourful characters making up the community. This book is both a documentary and a secret history of a vanishing world. No.1723 Diaries 1987 - 1992by Edwina Currie Read by Derina Dinkin (1 Cd) An informative book, sometimes humorous, sometimes wistful of Edwina Currie's time in Government during 1987 - 1992 including mention of the 'salmonella' fiasco.

Read by Ruth Hill (1 Cd) This book is written in two parts - 1). As a child 2). Teenage years 3). The age of work and 4). Leaving home. Each section describes graphically different events in Steven Berkoff's young life. This is a memoir of a misspent youth. He looks back at a childhood with a caring mother and a frequently absent father. He resents his father's neglect of him, not having a barmitzvah and his complete lack of encouragement. Steven transformed from a keen, smartly turned out grammar schoolboy into a teenager eager to be with the 'in crowd'. A brief stay in a Borstal for bicycle theft is honestly described. High on hormones Steven was over-keen to indulge in sexual experiences and confesses to being an uncommitted teenage father. Leaving school at 16 Steven embarked on a series of short-term jobs and foreign travel linked to menswear. His successful application to drama school to fulfil his longing to become an actor ends the final section.
