Welcome to this weblog in which you can follow the progress of the making of a documentary on the life of my Jewish Aunty Betty and her family. Hence the name "The Making(s) of Aunty Betty". Please feel free to browse around and comment on what you see. Many of the photos in this blog are stills taken from the filmed material, giving an idea of how the documentary is taking shape. I intend to continuously revise, reorganise and if necessary rewrite the text as new insights and information arise. Please consider this weblog as work in progress with an interactive character!

On the right-hand side of this home page you will see the chapter pages appear as they are successively written, starting off with an overview of the whole story and the first chapter resulting from the first trip in hopefully a series to come. As a whole the various chapter pages will form the backbone of the script of the actual film. So I hope you find these pages interesting and thanks in advance for having a look around.
