On Brick Laneby Rachel Lichtenstein Read by Anita Boston (1 Cd) This book brings to life the memories and realities of Brick Lane's many communities from the 18th century Huguenot Weavers to the Jewish refugees of the 1880's, to the late 20th century Bangladeshi community. Brick Lane is a multi-cultural melting pot and sacred site, bounded by Huguenot churches, abandoned synagogues and newly-developed mosques, with the old Truman Brewery at its heart. Rachel Lichtenstein brings to life tales of market traders, Bengali teenage gangsters and celebrities, interwoven with her own account of living and working in the area. It’s the story of the East End yesterday and today. No. 1422 On Life And Deathby Zvi Aharoni Read by Simon Cohen (1 Cd) Zvi Aharoni escaped Nazi Germany as a young man.

Aaron Lansky, the Founder and President of the National Yiddish Book Centre, tells a vibrant adventure story filled with unforgettable characters and hilarious events.

Read by Simon Cohen (1 Cd) This is a lighthearted look at the risks from crime suffered by Jules Street Furnishers. The Stores are located in Johannesburg, South Africa. Harry Sher and Jack Rubin, the owners, tell about the ram- raiders, fraud committed by gangs of criminals, customers and even their own employers.

Warning: THERE IS SOME STRONG LANGUAGE.
