Early life
Janner was born ברוך אהרון בן יהושע (Baruch Aharon ben Yehoshua) to a Litvak family in Luokė in the Kovno Governorate of the Russian Empire, in what is now Lithuania.
He was the son of Joseph and Gertrude Janner.[2] At the age of nine months, his family, who were Orthodox Jews, moved to Barry, Glamorgan, Wales, where his father opened a furniture shop.[2]
Janner was educated at the local school before obtaining a scholarship to attend the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire at Cardiff.
He was president of the students' union and edited the college magazine. He graduated with a BA in English and mathematics in 1914, before serving in the Royal Garrison Artillery during the First World War.[
