Robert Seltzer Lecture Series

Making the Documentary: A Very British History: Back to Belarus

Filmmaker Simon Glass explores his family history and tells the story of the Yorkshire Jews in the early 20th century. Destined for America, thousands of migrants arrived by boat on the east coast of England and settled in a run-down slum area of Leeds known as the Leylands. For the first time in four generations, Simon travels back to his ancestral home in eastern Europe where he makes a shocking discovery about what happened to his relatives who did not migrate to Britain.

Documentary found here: A Very British History: The Jews of Leeds

Presented by: Simon Glass has made over a dozen films for the BBC, including the award-nominated "A Very British History: The Jews of Leeds" and the acclaimed BBC One current affairs series Inside Out.

This lecture will be held online via Zoom.
