The Holocaust and Wales: Religious life of...

This resource looks at the religious life of Jewish refugees in Wales. It focuses on two topics: Religious service and cheder, and kosher food.Religion was an important part of life for many Jewish refugees in Wales. Many attended synagogues or cheder (religious schooling). Jewish dietary laws, rooted in religion, specify which foods Jews can or cannot eat. The laws also specify how the food is prepared both before it reaches the home and within it. Generally, the more Orthodox a person’s background, the more closely observed these rules are.Students will hear oral history testimonies from two Kindertransport refugees – one describing religious services at Gwrych Castle and one about religious observance in their temporary hostel.Image above: Cheder class, Swansea Beth Hamedrash, 1908-09.

The Holocaust and Wales: General Paper and Box...

In this collection of resources, the students will learn about the Treforest Trading Estate, near Pontypridd, which was set up as part of the Special Areas Act of 1934. The Act was created to help parts of Britain with high unemployment, and it offered support to businesses to set up in these areas. When the Nazis began seizing Jewish businesses in Germany in the years after 1933, many Jewish refugees fled here to establish their businesses with help from this scheme.By May 1940, 55 businesses started by Jewish refugees were running at Treforest. They provided jobs for around 1,800 local people.In this resource, students will learn about the experiences of the Schoenmann family, who ran a cigarette paper and box factory at Treforest. Their business was deemed “vital to the war effort” as cigarettes were classed as “essential to keeping up morale both in the forces, and at home”.This is resource 2 of 2 on the topic of Treforest Trading Estate.Image above: The wall plaque for the General Paper & Box Manufacturing Company in Treforest Trading Estate, 1941.

Oral History: A Guide for Schools

History is all around us. We only have to ask our own families and communities. They can tell us enough stories to fill a library of books. This kind of history is called ORAL HISTORY.Documents and books often concentrate on famous people and big events. But many people’s experiences and voices have been hidden from history. Oral history fills in the gaps and gives us history which includes everyone.With digital technology, anyone can preserve oral histories and share them with others. It is a wonderful way of developing digital and interviewing skills while learning about history. It can build the confidence of young people and respect between generations.This guide has been created in partnership by the Oral History Society and People’s Collection Wales. It offers helpful advice on getting started with an oral history project in your school or community.

The history of the Welsh language in Patagonia

Emigration was an ordinary aspect of life in nineteenth-century Wales. Economic hardship, above anything else, caused thousands of Welsh people to leave their native communities in search of a better life in the United States. Yet, while there was hope of a better standard of living in North America, many immigrants were aware of the danger that they would lose their national characteristics as they and their descendents assimilated into American society. Michael D. Jones observed this tendency during a visit to the United States in 1848-9 and he was convinced of the need for a Welsh settlement in Patagonia as a means of safeguarding the language, customs and religion of his compatriots. In Michael D. Jones’s mind, the establishment of a settlement where the Welsh language had official status would allow the national identity of the immigrants to flourish unhindered.
