Israel’s Moment: Support and Opposition to Establishing the Jewish State

Award-winning historian Jeffrey Herf will discuss his forthcoming book, Israel’s Moment, which exposes the political realities that underpinned international support and opposition to Zionist aspirations in Palestine in the 1940s. His unprecedented account sheds important new light on how a Jewish state was forged in the shadow of World War II and the Holocaust and the onset of the Cold War.
