I practiced medicine for many years and in retirement decided to write up my parents history. Both are interesting due to the era and places they were born. My father from the orthodox and poor community of Safed and my mother from the prosperous and elegant Vienna. They both arrived in England for vastly different reasons, he came to educate himself and she, as a refugee, escaping the atrocities of nazi persecution. It is hard for me to comprehend how extraordinarily difficult their lives had been before they came here. But settling as a foreigner in this country during wartime would not be easy either.view less
