Thanks Heather for posting these - I wanted John Lazar contribution to Westland much recorded and that also of Juliette Henry (ex teacher) who did a thesIs of Jewish Community & the synogogue history here in Hokitika. Often forgotten with school children not reminded of their forebears.thanks to Juliette when she teaches she takes them to Cemetery to remind them of Moses road etc. She has good knowledge of the Hokitika synogogue history.. https://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/.../tei-GolHist-t1-body1-d15...

I guess that is where the name of Lazar Park comes from? Baz.
