Wednesday 7 Jun 2023, 4-5 pm ET.     1900 – 1918. Start of Zionism (Part 3)

There was a  huge growth in the Ashkenazi Jewish population from 1900-1918

Their culture was more distinct – and though they maintained it, building kosher businesses, welfare networks, Jewish schools and cultural bodies, they generally embraced their integration into wider English culture. A fascinating period which was also the start of the Reform Movement and the political notion of Zionism

Trudy Gold was the former C.E.O. of the London Jewish Cultural Centre, and one of the founder members of the British delegation to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. She has taught Modern Jewish History in schools and universities and for adult groups throughout the World. She has coordinated teacher training in Jewish History and Holocaust Studies in Eastern Europe and latterly in China. She is the author of The Timechart History of Jewish Civilisation and the student resources “Understanding the Holocaust” and the digital resource “Lessons of the Holocaust.”
