Some years ago, after my mother died, in her possessions I came across a large brown envelope that contained some pages cut out from the Liverpool Jewish Gazette that my uncle, Abe Max, had written. These were a series of articles that give a warm, personal insight into his life in Liverpool from about 1908 through to after the !st World War. I have transcribed them from the copies that I have and have filled in a gap, the second article in the series, from the copies of the Liverpool Jewish Gazette which are kept in the Liverpool Central Libraries archive collection. I have copied them as faithfully as possible so as not to change any of Uncle Abe's original style. Please read, enjoy and savour a time when Liverpool was a warm, vibrant Jewish community with shops, shuls and all that kind of life meant to the people who lived in it.
