For King and Country? The Jewish Experience of the First World War

Over 50,000 Jewish soldiers fought for Britain during the First World War, sharing in the horror and loss experienced by the whole country. This exhibition will explore how war threw into question what it meant to be a British Jew. We will tell the personal stories of why Jewish soldiers decided to serve and of the struggle to keep faith while fighting in the trenches. These personal stories will be explored within the wider context of divided loyalties, integration and Zionism which were all under debate at the time.
