The first of six programmes In which different individuals - widely separated by age and background but all now settled in Britain - reflect in turn on their common experience of growing up in one world and then coming to terms with a very different one.
1: Lou Cohen of Whitechapel
Known to his friends as ' The Butch Kid '. Lou Cohen was born 88 years ago in a small village in the Russian Ukraine.
Having survived the anti-Jewish pogroms and rubbed shoulders with some of America's most notorious racketeers, he settled finally in London's East End.
' The first time I came to Whitechapel - in 1906 - I was penniless. And there in Black Lion Yard were all the diamond merchants. But the glittering of the jewellery was nothing to me - I was only interested in the smell of fresh bread from the corner bakery.' Recordings compiled by CHARLES ALLEN. Producer joy HATWOOD
