TOPIC:

A talk was recently given live on Zoom, organised by Willesden Jewish Cemetery and the Jewish Historical Society of England, titled 'Piecing together lost history: Jews in the South African War,' which is currently available on YouTube. Early on in the talk the speaker said that she'd done no family research on any of the individuals named on the two memorial boards at Willesden Jewish Cemetery, but she does later give some information on individuals (after 29 minutes), which was interesting, especially those who are buried in the cemetery or are remembered there.
Referred to the anti-Semite John Burns as being a Labour MP - he was actually a Liberal MP; the Labour Party was only formed in February 1900..
She talked about the Aliens Act of 1905 for several minutes, and it didn't seem to have much relevance to the actual subject of the talk. The word 'unveiling' was pronounced as 'unveeling' - and that was the point where I started to lose patience with the speaker's delivery. Then she repeated 'unveeling' again. Bizarre.

When she actually talks about the memorial, it's interesting. It's when she talks about events and attitudes in Britain, both before, during and after the war, that it all gets a bit more 'woolly' - less focused.

The best thing I learnt from the talk was that Aldershot Synagogue (opened 24th March 1912, closed in the 1960s) had replica boards of the Central Synagogue memorial, and those are the boards which are now at Willesden Jewish Cemetery.
