Jewish East End Celebration Society (JEECS)

Categories: History, Religion

From the picture source website: "Our aim is to raise awareness of the history and culture of London's Jewish East End, to preserve what remains and record what has now gone."

Note: the symbol they use on their website, and copied here, is that on the building at 88 Whitechapel High Street, left behind by a Jewish newspaper. (We will publish it soon.)
