Speaks Volumes Volume 9 September 2017 1 Speaks Volumes Volume 9 September 2017 Welcome to the ninth edion of Speaks Volumes... Dear Members We hope you are all enjoying the summer and are having the chance to catch up on plenty of reading. Throughout the summer, we have been working to develop an events programme for the autumn that we hope will appeal to members and new visitors. Key events to men on include our annual contribuon to Heritage Open Days which will run from the 7th to 10th September, and ‘Out of Hours’ a series of immersive theatre performances in partnership with local theatre company ‘A Quiet Word’ and Leeds City Council. These will take place from the 5th and 6th October. In conjuncon with the Big Bookend fesval, we will be welcoming our member Frances Brody who will be launching and reading from her new book ‘Death in the Stars’ on the 7th October. On the 13th Octo‐ ber the Library will welcome Caryl Phillips, our newly elected Patron, along with Glyn Maxwell and Im‐ az Dharker for an evening of poetry to remember David Oluwale. The event organised with the Re‐ member Oluwale Trust and in associaon with Leeds University will feature an evening of poetry and readings from three of the country’s leading poets and mark what is hopefully the first of many visits for Carl Huon Caryl to the Library as our patron. Details of all these events, including mings and admission prices (where applicable) can be found both on our website and within the Library. We are ancipang further events to be scheduled alongside our ongoing Film Club which takes place on the first Sat‐ urday and third Wednesday of each month.

She was born in Blackburn in 1893 and started wring short stories for the Blackburn Weekly Telegraph’s “Children’s corner”. Her novels can be described as domesc and usually with a moral tale. In 1927 she wrote “Young Anne”, the first of 9 successful novels. Most were Book Society choice or recommendaons. They knew Mr Knight was published in 1934 and made into a film in 1944. It is a tale of corrupon and greed in which those who aim high eventually have everything come crashing down on them and they have to suffer the consequences. It tells the story of Thomas Blake, his wife Celia and their three children Freda, Douglas and Ruth. Thomas Blake takes pride in providing for his family and has dreams of prosperity. He is also responsible for his mother, sisters and feckless brother Edward. His great wish is to buy back the family business, sold by his father. A chance meeng with shady financier, Mr Knight enables him to do this. Gradually most of Thomas’s family are drawn into the world of Mr Knight. Freda realises her social ambions, Douglas goes to university, Ruth travels to France and Celia is able to buy the house she has always coveted, the house that belonged to Mr Knight. Thomas’s aenon is now focussed on making more and more money and he is drawn further into the world of speculaon and credit. Celia is uneasy with Thomas’s way of making money but she loves and trusts him and the family begin to enjoy this new found prosperity. However Thomas’s bubble is about to burst. An interesng twist in the story is the transformaon of Thomas’s brother Edward. At the start of the novel he can’t hold a job down but by the end of the book he has turned his life around, becoming a devoted husband and father and in contrast to Thomas a prosperous businessman who eventually ends up helping Thomas and his family. A compelling read. I can also highly recommend, Someone at a distance and High Wages both in the library and both published by Persephone. The library also has the following tles: The closed door and other stories They were sisters The priory Every good deed Greenbanks If you’d like to review a book for a future issue please contact Claire at the Leeds Library at [email protected] 4 Speaks Volumes Volume 9 September 2017 Book Review Seasons in the sun : the bale for Britain 1974‐79 by Dominic Sandbrook Reviewed by Angela Bloor 'Seasons in the Sun' is the fourth in a series of books by Dominic Sandbrook which examine the polical, economic, social and cultural history of Britain. The tle of the book is taken from a hit single of March 1974.

    The Work of the Pinsker: Orphans Relief Fund of London, 1921—39

    The work of the Pinsker Orphans Relief Fund ofLondon, 1921-39 JOHN COOPER The town of Pinsk lies on two great rivers inWestern Russia, intersected by railway routes along which the trade of the booming Russian economy flowed in the early part of the twentieth century. In 1931 no fewer than 24,000 of its population of 32,000 were Jewish, constituting 75 per cent of the total, slightly higher than the pre-1914 percentage. 'Most industries were in the hands of Jews, especially the tanneries, liquor manufactories, breweries, corn mills and saw mills. The Pinsk Jews played an important part also in the lumber and fish trade.'1 Pinsk in addition had a vibrant Jewish culture before the First World War. Its suburb of Karlin was a Hasidic stronghold and the town was one of the centres of the nascent Zionist movement.2 In 1915 Pinsk was occupied by the German army, its inhabitants scat? tered and Jewish family life disrupted. After 1918, as the army of the new Polish state pushed the Russian Bolshevik regime out of large areas of Poland, there was a wave of pogroms in the central and northern provinces of Poland with heavy Jewish casualties in the towns of Pinsk, Lida and Vilna. On 5 April 1919 the local Polish military commander ordered the shooting of thirty-four Jews in Pinsk who had attended ameeting to arrange the distribution of food for Passover, maliciously accusing them of being a secret Communist cell.3 Emergency conditions returned to Pinsk when the Bolshevik army cap? tured the town for a second time from 26 July to 26 September 1920.

More than 80% are not orphans. 80 years of research demonstrates the harm caused by raising children in institutions.

    Walking the Path of a Peacemaker - Part 2: an Orphanage Like No Other

    Walking the Path of a Peacemaker - Part 2: An Orphanage like No Other John Gehring July 18, 2014 Part 1 of Walking the Path of a Peacemaker shows how David’s sincere heart of service helped move the hearts of the villagers in Karukutty, India. In Part 2, we follow how the inspiration David found in India served as a springboard for organizing RYS in his hometown of Birmingham and his eventual return to India where he gained recognition as an Honorary Citizen. A true story by John W. Gehring Throughout his stay in India, David continued to work and mingle with the Religious Youth Service (RYS) participants and the local residents of Karukutty. The daily joys and challenges that he found in work and conversations, and through the cultural exchanges, incited in his spirit a desire to recreate the RYS experience in his hometown. This desire became a priority when he returned to Birmingham. Creating a Birmingham Success The city of Birmingham, England has been a magnet for attracting people from a wide variety of cultures and religions. For decades, concerned citizens among the heterogeneous population have worked to improve person-to- person, cross-cultural understanding and cooperation. David and his wife Patricia were among those who periodically participated in programs aimed at promoting harmony. After returning from India, the couple began to host several interfaith events that quite naturally led to considering Birmingham as the host for an RYS project. For an interreligious service project to work well, David realized it was essential to involve a wide cross section of religions.

    Research Project Does responsible volunteering in Cambodian orphanages exist? Alexandra Fahl Report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the MSc in Responsible Tourism Management Leeds Beckett University Carnegie Faculty School of Events, Tourism & Hospitality September 2016 Does responsible volunteering in Cambodian orphanages exist? ACKNOWLEDGMENT The research project is the final phase of completing the Master Course ‘Responsible Tourism Management’ at Leeds Beckett University. The author aimed to investigate a topic which is current and challenging and where her research and advice can be of use. During the past year the student came across the topic of child labour, which grasped her interest and from which the final chosen topic of volunteer tourism in Cambodian orphanages has been developed. At this point, the student would like to say a few thank you. A special thanks is dedicated to the authors parents, family and friends who pushed her not to lose track and energy during the past year and who are supporting her in every life decision. Likewise, the author would like to thank her supervisor Lucy McCombes, who supported the author along her way, not only academically, but also emotionally. Further, she would like to thank Leeds Beckett University, for being able to participate in this Master Programme and the entire staff of the course for a truly inspirational and instructive year! II Does responsible volunteering in Cambodian orphanages exist? EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Volunteer Tourism has become a growing trend within the past decades. Hereby, the tourist contributes a time of her/his holiday to volunteer, often with the intention ‘to give something back’.
