Memoirs Of A Failed Diplomatby Dan Vittorio Segre Read by Simon Cohen (1 Cd) Dan Vittorio Segre has had an extraordinary life. He emigrated from Italy to Palestine returning to liberated Italy after the Second World War, wearing a British uniform. He joined Israel's diplomatic corps as cultural attaché to Paris and represented Israel in African states, developing ties with various countries. There were accusations of him being a spy and his departure from Israel's Foreign Ministry. Finally being exonerated of the crime of spying he turned his career to that of an academic. A very interesting and different life. No. 1470 Memories After My Deathby Yair Lapid Read by Victor Kateck (1 Cd) This is a fascinating book and if you didn't know otherwise you might think it an autobiography rather than a biography of Tommy Lapid, written by his son. Opinionated, augmentative, passionate and not a little boastful, Lapid's story moves from a comfortable upper middle class pre-war Hungary through the terrors of hiding one step ahead of the Germans during the Holocaust years to a struggling Israel shortly after its birth. Starting from humble soldier beginnings, his journey takes him from journalist, to TV star on a current affairs program to politics as head of Shinui party and then Government Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. Often anecdotal but never boring his story is that of the history of modern Israel and its people and is highly recommended.
Read by Valerie Goodhardt (1 Cd) This is a beautiful story, and a desperately sad one too. Violette Shamash started her life in pretty idyllic circumstances, as a member of the Jewish community in Baghdad. Between the wars Violette and her family were among 200,000 Jewish people living in Baghdad. It was a simple but delightful time. The Jewish community and their Muslim neighbours got along together well with mutual respect. Violette tells charming stories of an uncomplicated life where everything was great. However things changed, in a horrible way. It became vital that she, her husband and their children flee: first to India, then to Palestine, and finally to London. The Jews of Iraq were scattered like feathers from a pillow to the four corners of the globe. Today the community in Iraq is virtually extinct. This is a very moving story.
Read by Denise Asserson (1 Cd) Ellis Douek, a Consultant Surgeon, writes in beautiful prose about his extraordinary nomadic life in Egypt, Sudan, Columbia, Paris and eventually London, where he settled. His varied and unusual experiences included being an army doctor in the Black Watch in Scotland, surely unique for a Jew. As he said 'Where I have found myself has seemed the proper place for me to be. I have never been an exile.'
Read by Frieda Bier (1 Cd) Much mayhem and madness features in this book about the Marx brothers. Their battles with Hollywood, their films, their loves and their marriages. Spicing up the anarchic brew are accounts of the politics of Marxism a la Groucho. A definite manifesto of the lives, legends and the laughs.
Rabbi Julia Neuberger takes the moral temperature of the nation by looking at ways in which we treat the weakest amongst us, the old, the mentally ill, the asylum seekers, ex-offenders and the neglected young. She takes a straight-forward, intelligent and candid look at the issues and well documented stories that have hit the headlines. This is a thought-provoking and often deeply depressing account as it demands that in a civilised society something urgently needs to be done for the most vulnerable but can't quite decide who should do it and how it should be done. No. 1364 Moving Homeby Ramona R Freedman Read by Derina Dinkin (1 Cd) The story of how a non-observant woman from a traditional but non- kosher home, met and fell in love with a Rabbi's son. She decides to change and become ultra-orthodox, primarily for herself, but also for her husband-to-be. The book tells how she learned her orthodoxy through trials and tribulations until she achieves the ultimate goal of a truly orthodox and happy home.
Read by Hilary Michel (1 Cd) A remarkable story of the intensely gifted and beautiful pianist Harriet Cohen. This forceful and politically minded woman was one of the most talked about and photographed musicians of her day. However it is in her private live that her story becomes one of the greatest love stories of all time. Her friendships and relationships are revealed in her published love letters with leading figures from every walk of life: musicians, authors, composers, politicians, scientists and royalty. Her passionate love affair with the composer Arnold Bax lasted 40 years. Harriet was proud of being Jewish and refused to change her name to advance her career. No. 1550 My Life in Agony by Irma Kurtz Read by Ruth Hill As Cosmopolitan's professional agony aunt for the last forty years, Irma Kurtz has had to deal with the most intimate problems of successive generations of readers, while having to keep up with the changing customs and attitudes in British and American society. In these memoirs, she looks back on the seismic transformations that have taken place over the last four decades, as well as her own hectic and often difficult life as a single mum from America living in London”.
