Remembering Cable Streetby Tony & Nadia Kushner & Valman Read by Anita Boston (1 Cd) This book grew out of a conference commemorating the sixtieth anniversary of the historic confrontation between fascists, anti- fascists and the police in London's East End on 4th October 1936 known as the 'Battle of Cable Street'. It was this battle that persuaded the government to set up a committee to formulate a Public Order Act, which came into force on 1st January 1937, its aim being to increase police powers to regulate public order and not to discriminate against any particular creed or party. No. 1328 Rise And Fall And Rise Again, Theby Gerald Ratner Read by Ruth Hill (1 Cd) Gerald Ratner tells the story of his life before and after his infamous 1991 speech to the Institute of Directors. He recounts his loss of a £65,000 salary, £500 million wiped off the valuation of his company and £1 billion turnover slashed virtually overnight. This autobiography acknowledges that dynasties, good and bad luck, contacts and sheer chutzpah play an important part in business. Nevertheless it is enlightening to realise how self-belief, greed, a certain amount of dishonesty and knowing the price of one's many possessions 'maketh the man' and how 'Doing a Ratner' has become a well-know phrase. THIS BOOK CONTAINS SOME SWEAR WORDS. No. 1446 Ritual Slaughterby Sidney Brichto Read by Simon Cohen (1 Cd) Sidney Brichto reveals how a skinny poor Jewish kid used his wits to survive. He escapes from his narrow and myopic orthodox Jewish life to the freedom of the western world. He describes what it is like to grow up in America being the son of Jewish refugees. This book will help you to appreciate American life during World War ll and the 1950's from the perspective of a child. The self - induced nervous breakdown , the awkwardness of explaining that his father was a ritual slaughterer and much more makes this book by Rabbi Sidney Brichto an excellent read. No. 1459 Roses And Thornsby Millie Donbrow Read by Shirley Bloch (1 Cd) An interesting, factual and moving account of the Donbrow family making Aliyah. They go to Israel for a trial period first and decide that this is where they want to spend the rest of their lives. Millie Donbrow herself teaches English to a variety of people, including Russian, and her experiences in this field are excellently related and often amusing. Whilst in Israel they experience the 'Six Day War' and the 'Yom Kippur' war and her writing about them gives us a great deal of insight into these events. A book worth listening to both for factual and family stories.

Read by Clive Roslin (1 Cd) This fascinating book is called 'Sabbath' and although it has been written by a Christian it takes the Jewish idea of the Sabbath as a method to 'restore the sacred rhythm of rest'. Because we all tend to lead busy lives the book attempts, in a spiritual way, to create a way of having a special time of rest, delight and renewal. The book refers to the Sabbath as 'a refuge for the soul' which helps to restore our lives to what is really important. References to Christianity as well as Judaism are made throughout this book.
Read by Ita Rubin (1 Cd) Ida and Louise Cook were two ordinary women who lived quiet lives in the London suburbs. But throughout the 1930's these remarkable sisters rescued dozens of Jews facing persecution and death. Even when Ida began earning thousands of pounds as a romantic novelist the sisters directed every spare resource, as well as their considerable courage towards saving as many as they could from Hitler's death camps.
Read by Simon Cohen (1 Cd) Captain Clive Shelter tells his story 'Sailing Out A Dream' about how he sailed a 32 foot yacht alone across the North Atlantic from England to Newport, America. He sailed his yacht 'Maccabi' for 32 days in the single-handed transatlantic yacht race of 1987. Clive immigrated to Israel in 1971, qualified as a master mariner at the age of 33 and sailed as captain mainly to the far east. Listen to how he obtained sponsorship, his encounter with a pack of whales and with a dangerous tornado. How he took up the challenge to test both man and boat and the final achievement. Captain Clive Shelter sailed into Newport on board 'Maccabi' to finish 8th in his class.
Read by Helen Mignano (1 Cd) Jerzy Lando was born in 1922 into a wealthy middle class Jewish family in Poland. His happy family life was shattered in 1939 when the Nazis invaded Poland. Lando and his family were moved to the Warsaw Ghetto where they were forced to live in appalling conditions. He later escaped with the help of non-Jewish Poles, fake documents and his undeniably Aryan features,and began a new life under a Christian pseudonym. He or anyone who helped him faced the death penalty if discovered. In 1942, the Nazis began a liquidation of the ghetto and thousands of Jews were forcibly transported to Treblinka where many of them perished in gas chambers. Lando escaped this fate and on his return to Warsaw, he joined the underground resistance. He took an active part in the Warsaw uprising of 1944, but two months later was taken prisoner and spent the last months of the war in prisoner of war camps where he and fellow prisoners were left on the brink of starvation. Lando survived but his father did not. This is an extra-ordinary, almost unbelievable story.
