Historian and author Daniel Snowman writes of a Jewish child's memories of being brought up during the War and of his grandfather, Dayan H.M. Lazarus, who was Acting Chief Rabbi shortly afterwards. Daniel gives colourful inside accounts of life in Cambridge, JFK's America (including Civil Rights) and the new University of Sussex and of the BBC in its heyday. He watches Churchill making one of his final speeches, interviews Harry Truman about Hiroshima, spends a week in Bayreuth with Wagner's daughter-in-law, meets Pope John-Paul II, Isaiah Berlin and Lord Snowdon - and gets to know Plácido Domingo, the Amadeus Quartet and the most famous among the ‘Hitler Emigrés’.
