Jewish Museum, Finchley
80 East End Road, London N3

Recognised as one of Britain's pre-eminent museums, the Jewish Museum is divided into two sites, the other at Camden.  Despite being small, the two buildings, provide a wealth of information, and both hold temporary exhibitions. 

The Finchley branch, located in the Sterberg Centre for Reform Judaism, is the informal of the two branches. 

It has displays on many aspects of Jewish social history.  The museum describes the two mass migrations of Jews to London in modern times - from Eastern Europe between 1881 - 1914 and from Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia just before World War II.  

Displays illustrate the everyday life of immigrants starting afresh in London. There are domestic items, such as a Yiddish language gramophone record, as well as a functional sewing workshop, giving a glimpse of sweatshop life in the East End at the turn of the century. 

The Holocaust Education Gallery which tells the story of Leon Greenman, a British Jew who was the only member of his family to survive Auschwitz. 

The archives contain over 12,000 photographs and 2,000 oral history tapes.  Volunteers are available to answer questions or provide further information.
