Let My People Back - The History and Demography of Anglo-Jewry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780755204885)

Gary Gerson relates the story of the Jews in the British Isles, from the time of the Norman Conquest to the present day; how, from a foreign speaking minority they became part of the British scene without losing their Jewish identity. The book covers the Medieval period, as well as the return of the Jews at the time of Cromwell and goes on to describe the massive influx at the end of the 19th Century from Russia and Poland. The book pays close attention to the Jewish and British populations, their relationships and the historical significance of population changes. The survival and the future of the Jews in Great Britain are considered in this clear and understandable account for the general reader whilst adequate notes and a comprehensive bibliography ensure that those who require further information will be able to find it easily.
