Читать книгу Cracked Eggs and Chicken Soup - A Memoir of Growing Up Between The Wars - Norman Jacobs - Страница 5

As well as my father I should also like to acknowledge the help I was given by others in bringing his story to life. Firstly, my mum, who wrote down her own life story back in the 1990s and from which I was able to confirm and fill in some details of their early relationship. Secondly, my brother, John, who related a few memories of things Dad had told him over the years. Thirdly, other members of our wider family, especially my Uncle Joe, the only member of the Palmer Street and Boundary Estate Jacobs family still living, now in his ninety-fourth year, and still as alert and active as ever. He was also able to confirm and fill in a few details of life between the wars for the Jacobses. Lastly, David, Bobby, Helen and Brian, my Uncle Davy’s children, and David, Uncle Abie’s son, who all added a few anecdotes they had heard from their respective fathers.

My thanks to them all.
