In four years at the helm of an innovative and unusual heritage project Hester Abrams has continually uncovered new stories that connect Willesden Cemetery to London, Britain and the world.
In this talk for Manchester-London Jewish cultural group The JW3 Abraham Debating Society, she shares some of her favourite discoveries, explains why Willesden Cemetery is significant for both British and Jewish heritage and shares what she’s learned in working to open the site to new audiences.
