Memories: When We Were Young. Edited by Aumie and Michael Shapiro Springboard Education Trust, 1988 - A moving photographic tribute to Jewish childhood memories in Britain, When We Were Young captures the innocence, resilience, and cultural identity of generations raised in the early to mid-20th century.

With over 80 pages of black-and-white photographs, it offers poignant glimpses of school life, family portraits, synagogue celebrations, and wartime evacuations. This is a deeply nostalgic and historically rich album of Jewish heritage and youth across the UK. Includes an image of a young Immanuel Jakobovits (later Chief Rabbi) on the cover.
