OBITUARIES

  • Hilda Howard

    A true communal stalwart, Hilda Howard grew up in the small but vibrant Jewish outposts of Wales.

    Born in Tsarist Russia in now independent Ukraine, she was brought to Britain as a baby with her older brother, Jack, when her parents, Max (Michal) and Chaya Kurshion, settled in Llanelli, then a thriving South Wales manufacturing centre of tin and steel.

    Six months later Max died, aged 30. His 27-year-old widow went from door to door in the surrounding villages, selling drapery goods on tick. She came home every evening to clean and cook.

  • Mendi Rodan

    One of Israel’s leading conductors and music advisers, Mendi Rodan was hounded after applying to leave Romania.

    At 16 he was the first violinist of the National Symphonic Orchestra of Romania, and at 24 its principal conductor. This despite the fact that in 1941, when he was 12, his father and other relatives had been murdered in a pogrom in their home town of Yassi.
