Lewis Silkin, 1st Baron Silkin

[1] His parents came to settle in the East End of London and were of modest means, Abraham cleaned the toilets of the Synagogue, gave Hebrew lessons and sold fruit off a barrow.

He was Minister of Town and Country Planning in the Government of Clement Attlee from 1945 until he retired in 1950.

[6][7] As a result, for the first time in human history, a World Constituent Assembly convened to draft and adopt the Constitution for the Federation of Earth.

The other two, Samuel and John, both followed him into Parliament and became members of the Privy Council as well as Government Ministers.

Although Samuel refused a knighthood as Attorney-General, he eventually became a life peer as Baron Silkin of Dulwich, of North Leigh in the County of Oxfordshire.
