The reader featured in the center of the Yom Kippur service @ 14:34 minutes in the video is my great great Grandfather Joseph Hiller and I believe this is the Hambro Synagogue - The Rabbi in the lower center left not sure who his name is at the time. Joseph emigrated from Czechoslovakia (Tachov/Tachau) in 1901 but was born in Ozorkow Poland
That guy is really good at the history of Whitechapel, London. Knows his history, explained brilliantly. This is missing from today's street walking whatever they call themselves now. Most are crap other nations and culchies that haven't a clue about Dublin where I'm from. They can't tell you shit about our street's like a Dub could. 👊☘️
I would give anything to have Whitechapel go back to the 19th century with the original buildings, cobbled streets, rookeries, stables, pubs, churches, cobbled streets, courtyards. So much history. So many ancient cultures. So many forgotten trades.
You would give anything?! Do you realise that even in 1900 the life-expectancy for a female in the UK was 44 and for a man only 44 years! The infant mortality rate was 150 out of every 1000 live births. Today it is 3 ! The ingratitude of people lucky enough to be alive today is both incredible and sickening!
Until the 1970's, many of the slum housing in Spitalfields and Whitechapel (plus Bethnal Green, Shoreditch, Wapping, Shadwell, Stepney, Limehouse, Poplar etc) were still in existence in the thousands. Cobbled streets, single houses on street corners or full streets of Georgian and Victorian terraced houses were all over the East End and the rest of London. For example, the original site's where the victims of Jack the Ripper killed his victims in 1888, George Yard Dwellings on Gunthorpe Street were only demolished in 1972, 29 Hanbury Street (a Georgian house) remained standing until the early 1970's, Durward Street (previously known as Buck's Row) built in the mid 19th century stood until the early 1970's, half of Duval Street (ex Dorset Street) stood until the late 1960's/early 1970's, Castle Alley was almost unchanged from the 1880's, and the various Common Lodging House's along Brick Lane, Flower and Dean Street, Fashion Street and Thrawl Street etc still consisted of either the earlier Georgian and Victorian buildings or the huge warehouse like 'Model Dwellings' built in the 1880's and the 1890's. It was only during the 1980's onwards that the majority of the original slums have been demolished.
@@jayd4ever Check out the Jack the Ripper Tour RU-vid channel for a fascinating history of Whitechapel and it’s residents from the time of the Ripper killings.
I love whitechapel. It has a working class history which tells alot . Not about the good old days but a warning. Don t push the workers to far as together the will act
@@combatduckie you have a problem with people praying to God? People like you are the problem in the world What is wrong with people praying to The creator of the world?
Amazing documentary, all this talk of racism today when those poor first generation immigrants had to work in a close family environment to survive but kept their dignity & traditions without burning down their new Jerusalem. These people although badly treated by their hosts rose above that to survive, a huge lesson to us all : ‘ burning down your enemies village will not make you prosper “ . Amazing history .
@@davidmarrs746 The same racist bilge you spout was used against Jews. My grandpa was arrested for throwing a brick at a copper who was protecting fascists during the Brick lane riots. A heroic act.. The picture you paint of a passive population of Jews meekly taking crap from people like yourself is a lie.
Im the famous princess of whitechapel for past 10years!! I Know everybody and the streets and alleyways I know like the own lines on my hand.. this is very interesting for me
Also my husbands father was one of those Bangali immigrants in Whitechapel husband born n raised in whitechapel Whitechapel us so close to my HEART the streets are my veins
One comment: Sandys Row was the Dutch Synagogue in Spitalfields. The video said German.(Do you mean German Minhag?) Interesting , Enjoyed indeed. Take care Be well Esther Melbourne AU
I heard that their were brawls, altercations, etc. The reason was that the English citizens were angry, because the immigrating we're taking their jobs. There were riots all the time, and when the community heard that the Whitechapel murderer maybe a Jewish person, the riots ten folded.
No different to today really but the only difference between then and now there was no unemployment benefit. There was not enough work to go around. My Grandad lined up at the gates of the docks trying to get a days work to fed my mum and siblings who lived in a 2 up 2 in Poplar. No work no money.
Charming. I realised afterwards that the private clinic where I had a scan was where it was sited. I did wonder what used to be there in the past anyway because it’s almost small back roads and rounding a corner a small hospital.
Ireland, we now have enirgrents of a lot of different nationalities African, Polish, Chinese, Roma, Pakistani, Brazilian you name it we have it. So far so good. Anything negatively happens we all suffer. Integration is key.👊 ☘️
Didn't take me long to scroll down and find a idiotic racist. Immigration? Do you want to send the foreign doctors and nurses back and then watch the NHS collapse? So, it's ok for Brits to immigrate ?
