John Gross is the son of a Jewish doctor who practiced in East End London from the 1920s to WW2 and later. His parents were the children of immigrants, steeped in the customs and traditions of Eastern Europe, yet outside the home he grew up in the very English world of comics and corner shops, sandbags and bombsites. Looking back on his childhood with humour and insight, he reflects on his double inheritance. The richness of Yiddish words, the rituals and mysteries of the synagogue are set against the life of the streets, where boxers and gangsters are heroes.
