Rabbi Broch

I am starting to put together a page about the recent Kitchener exhibition and the plaque unveiling. I’m so sorry for the delay in doing this, but as many of you know, I haven’t been too well recently. I also have lots of new contacts that we’ve been receiving over the last few weeks, which I need to catch up with. Anyway – we’ll get there!

…………………………………………………………………

In the meantime, one of the emails I received gave some information about Rabbi Broch, whom I have written about previously: he was one of the two Kitchener camp rabbis.

The email reads: “Rabbi Broch later became rabbi in bournemouth; his son lived in Hendon and died about 15 years ago. Perhaps Bournemouth shul would have information. I know he authored a few books and remember seeing on the flyleaf a biographical excerpt about him”.

If anyone is willing / able to follow any of this up either with Bournemouth shul, or in the records, or if anyone has one of the books referred to here, I would be very pleased to receive anything you might be able to find out.
