Can anyone solve wartime book mystery?

MYSTERY surrounds the history of a wartime book which has been discovered in the deepest recesses of our editor’s office.

The book, which appears to be the script of a radio broadcast, was created by “directors of programmes” Rosyln Kaplan and Pearl Klaff — members of the IVB Broadcasting Corporation.

It seems to be from the end of the Second World War and includes hand-drawn images and paintings.

The unnamed book also features names of “technical staff” such as Nancy Johnston, Rosemary Mathew, Celia Landsman and Marguerite Feinberg.

If you can shed light on the book or any of the names, call newsdesk 0161-741 2631 or email newsdesk@jewishtelegraph.com
