About the donors:

The collection was initiated thanks to the generous donation by Mr. William Margulies and Prof. Alice Shalvi, commemorating their parents – Benzion and Perl Margulies. Benzion Margulies was a publisher who had published books in Hebrew, Yiddish and German in the "Ararat" Publishing Society. He had also published the Hebrew periodical "Metsudah" in "Ararat".

Mr. and Mrs. Margulies cherished the Yiddish language, were active members in Jewish organizations and worked to elevate the Jewish community and culture in England.
