Roger Elmitt will speak about the diary of Joseph Rosenthal, a diary he found at the Jewish Historical and Genealogical Society’s (JHGS) premises in July 2023:

I was shown one of their artifacts which consisted of a box containing various family
heirlooms which had been donated to the Society for safe keeping. Amongst the treasures
therein was a small book which, upon opening, turned out to be a diary written by Joseph
Rosenthal describing his first world war experiences from the day he signed up on the 13th
January 1916 . . .
