Jewish War Heroes of British Armed Forces

This 30 minute film was commissioned out of respect for the tremendous numbers of Jews who fought and fell for Crown and Country. Story begins with battles against the French in 1759, followed by Trafalgar and Waterloo. 55,000 British Jews fought in World War 1. We recount their courage with rarely seen archive film. In World War 2, British Jews fought in disproportionate numbers to their small population: 60,000 of the country’s 360,000 Jewish citizens. That’s one sixth of all British Jews. This film captures the living testimonies of ex-servicemen and women.
