Winston Churchill is one of the towering figures of British and World History. His extraordinary life was often entwined with the destiny of the Jewish People.
This course will tell that story.
The Churchill family was close to some of the Jewish Grandees. After his father’s death he relied heavily on Baron de Hirsh and Sir Earnest Cassel. When he entered Parliament, a chance encounter led to a lifelong relationship with Chaim Weizmann and Zionism.
