Herman Lodinger Memorial Lecture | Curchill & the Jews with Lee Pollock

The Herman Lodinger Memorial Lecture is at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. Lee Pollock is an award-winning historian, writer, and public speaker on the life of Sir Winston Churchill.

Churchill's relationship with the Jewish people helped to define his own remarkable life and career, and his decisions dramatically impacted their fate. From his earliest encounter with the Jews of England in the waning years of the Victorian age to the re-making of the Middle East in the aftermath of the Great War and the tragic and turbulent years from 1933 to 1945, Jewish issues and concerns frequently became his own. Yet even though Churchill's admiration for the Jews and support for Zionism are well known, some contemporary critics nevertheless claim that his deeds fell short of his words at the most critical time in Jewish history.
