This is the first book to examine the response of the British Jewish community to the destruction of the Jewish community of mainland Europe in World War II. Richard Bolchover charts the response of leading Jews and of Jewish organisations to the unfolding tragedy of Europe's Jews. In the process he raises controversial questions about the Anglo-Jewish community's priorities, and the way in which it organised itself. This study of Jewish political thoughts and culture marks a serious and provocative departure from the traditionally dominant trend in Anglo-Jewish historiography.Table of content...
