FedMyVoice

Fed My Voice Director Raphi Bloom delivered his interactive My Voice Guardian presentation, sharing the life story of Ike Alterman BEM, to more than 100 people at Whitefield Golf Club today.

The presentation followed the club’s annual Holocaust Remembrance Cup, held in memory of the nine Holocaust Survivors who were members of Whitefield Golf Club and who played a vital role in its creation and long-term growth over several decades. The most recent of these was Ike Alterman, who passed away in late 2025.

The messages Ike conveys - of tolerance, kindness and that hate is a disease - are more important than ever to share we the UK Jewish community comes under sustained attack. Ike's awesome resilience is also something we, as UK Jews, need to learn from in the face of mounting pressure.

My Voice is saddened to hear of the passing of Holocaust survivor and My Voice storyteller 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲.

Born in Germany in 1928, Hans came to Britain as a young refugee escaping rising antisemitism. After surviving the trauma of Kristallnacht and his father’s arrest, he rebuilt his life in the UK, eventually settling in Manchester.

He went on to build a long career in the textile industry, study at The University of Manchester, and create a loving home with his wife Adele and their three daughters.

Hans’s life was a testament to resilience, hope, and the strength of community. 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴.
