Winston Churchill and the Jews: A Talk by Lee Pollock

Winston Churchill is an icon of the 20th century: from his first election to Parliament in 1900, to his retirement as Prime Minister in 1955, he towered over the world stage. The remarkable arc of Churchill’s career also intersects with key events in Jewish history, including the rise of Hitler and the devastation of the Holocaust; followed by the creation of the State of Israel and the lasting division that continues in the Middle East today.
Acclaimed writer, speaker, and noted Winston Churchill expert Lee Pollock joined us as we explored Churchill’s relationship with the Jewish people throughout his life and career, and how his decisions impacted their fate.
