Stefan Reif on his autobiography

INTERVIEW: The scholar who defied odds to unveil the treasures of the Cairo Genizah - Book Review. Stefan Reif brings post-World War II Edinburgh to life, conveying in indelible verbal images that are unstintingly honest what conditions were like in that bygone era for a child of Jewish immigrants (YAKIR FELDMAN, Jerusalem Post).

His book is Bouncing Back – and Forward. From Immigrant Household to Cambridge Fellowship (Vallentine Mitchell, 2021).
