We left the Pale and escaped to Whitechapel. We left Whitechapel and found Golders Green, a peaceful slice of suburban England that we could call home. Peaceful, that is, until now. Wrote an essay on recent events for @thetimes times-comment.com/newgoldersgreen

@joshglancy @thetimes My grandparents found Golders Green after the war, having survived the Nazis, the Soviet slave labour camps and the DP camps (where my Dad grew up). They lived just behind the main road and I ended up living in their house after my grandmother died. A great article 🙏🏻
