The Daily Mail in London reports on what looks like a stunning exhibition of photographs showing Jewish life in London’s East End following World War II. The exhibit is on show until March 18 at the Westfield Stratford City shopping mall (Europe’s largest urban shopping mall) in an exhibition called EAST, about the East End of London over the past century. The Daily Mail online posts a fascinating array of the black and white images.
The pictures, from the Getty Images archive, at the shopping centre – itself a recent addition to the area – capture scenes of both the young and old.
In one, an elderly rabbi reads from a religious book – while, in another, two pupils from the Jewish school in Redman Road pore over a study text.
