Winston Churchill is an icon of the 20th century. From his first election to Parliament in 1900 to his retirement as British Prime Minister in 1955, he towered over the world stage, influencing almost every significant issue of his time.
The arc of Churchill’s career intersects with the most significant events in the history of the Jewish people: Zionism and the Balfour Declaration, the rise of Hitler and the catastrophe of the Holocaust, followed by the creation of the State of Israel and the lasting divisions that affect the Middle East today.
Join Lee Pollock, Executive Director of The Churchill Centre, as he discusses how Churchill’s relationship with the Jewish people helped to define his life and career and how his decisions impacted their fate.
