Trudy Gold
Palestine, Britain and the Jews, Part 3

Tuesday 16.05.2023

Summary

To what extent was the Shoah central to the creation of a Jewish State? These three presentations will examine the relationship between the various Jewish factions in Palestine and how they responded to British policy. We will also focus on the attitudes on the Jewish communities in Britain as a “state of war” developed between the Yishuv and the British Labour government.
