Thank you for putting your article and photographs on the web. Emanuel was my Uncle. He was a very kind and gentle man. He was a wonderful writer. I hope that lots of readers will coninue to enjoy his poems and stories. I like the photos. My Father is in the photo of the three little boys and soldiers. He was called Abie. I’m very proud that Emanuel was my Uncle.

Thanks for reposting this. Through his writing, Emanuel helped many people connect with their heritage, and I’m hoping the videos I’ve uploaded to his YouTube account will do the same. Please subscribe.

TGA, thank you for republishing the interview with Emanuel Litvinoff on the sad occasion of his passing.

He was a remarkable man who made London’s East End from decades past come alive in his book ‘Journey Through a Small Planet’.
I never had the honour of meeting him but was delighted to see that you had interviewed him and Lucinda had the opportunity to take some striking photographs of Mr Litvinoff, my personal favourite being the photo where he is sitting next to his bookcase.

I hope that he will not only be remembered as an author but also for his work as a human rights campaigner.

May his legacy continue to educate, and inspire people to make this world a better place.

If ever a writer and an area were better suited it would be hard to find. Brilliant. I will order the book today. Annette
