My name is Hilary Thomas. I am a Jewish historian and writer living in Cheshire.
The Network’s latest project “Connecting Small Histories :Ensuring Sustainability in Jewish History” is Heritage Lottery- funded collaboration between the JSCN and Swansea University. It is focusing on six small communities including St Anne’s.
I am the St Anne’s “volunteer “and I am concentrating on researching St Anne’s during the Second World War, especially its efforts concerning evacuees and refugees.
