  • Hörpol Goethe Englisch
    History from Headphones – “Hörpol”, an Audio Tour through the Streets of Berlin Equipped with a map and a Walkman, young people can experience Jewish history on the spot in the centre of Berlin. Morning office-hour traffic, a back courtyard like so many others in Berlin-Mitte, the central district of the city. Outside, in the Rosenthaler Street, a bus clatters by, a lorry makes deliveries to the supermarket across the street. In the courtyard itself, it is very quiet; the October sun shines on the roofs. Sixty years ago the place was filled by a brisk hustle and bustle; in house number 39, Otto Weidt had set up a workshop for the blind that produced brooms and brushes. A “strategically important factory” for the war effort whose workers were exclusively Jews. At one of the 27 Hörpol stations Dietrich Lehmann, an actor with the Berlin Grips Theatre, describes over the headphones how “Papa Weidt”, as he was called, protected his workers from the Nazis. Hörpol is an Internet platform for young people. Free of charge, they can there download a city map and audio files. The two to ten minutes reports are about Jewish history during the Third Reich and the present, about despair and hope, courage and brutality. “Hörpol develops its effect only on the spot”, says the web site conceived and realised by author Hans Ferenz in 2009. And the particular attraction of the mini plays, played over MP3 player or mobile phone, lies in direct visits to places that are steeped in history and are today integrated into the brisk urban bustle round the Rosa Luxemburg Square, the Hackescher Market, the Oranienburger Street and the Rosenthaler Square.

  • The London Rubber Company
    The London Rubber Company The (Jacoby) Jackson Family In 1915, Lionel Alfred Jackson founded the London Rubber Company Ltd (LRC), selling condoms and other barber supplies that were imported from America and Germany. Lionel Alfred Jackson was born in 1894 and his birth name was Lionel Jacoby. He was a son of Daniel Jacoby who, like his father Siegmund was a Hairdresser and a Tobacconist. Siegmund and his wife Henrietta ee Jeish ad had eigated fo ‘ussia soetie i the s. Daniel had previously served five years imprisonment for being involved in the theft of diamonds from a diamond dealer. Although, the conventional story about the start of the London Rubber Company is that Lionel had his own Hairdressing business, I cannot find anything to support this. In the 1911 Census, just four years before the founding of London Rubber Company, he is listed as a living at home with his birth family at their Hairdressing and Tobacconist business premises and he was employed as a Commercial Traveler in Fancy Toys. His older brother, born Maurice Erkan Jacoby, was listed as Edwin Jackson and he was a employed as a Commercial Traveler in Confectionary. Fo this, it sees e likel that it as his fathes epeiee of uig ad selling condoms that gave Lionel the idea for the business. Indeed, as we know that his brother (Maurice) Erkan was also involved in the management of the London Rubber Company, it seems likely that this was a family business in which Lionel took the lead role. Something For The Weekend Sir? Fo people of todas geeatio, who can buy condoms from a plethora of retail outlets, the idea of buying condoms in a hairdressing establishment probably seems quite weird but this was not always the situation.
