The numbers don't lie: Jews made a giant contribution to Britain's WW2 fightback

During World War II, British Jews, though comprising less than 0.5% of the UK population, made a disproportionately significant contribution to the Allied war effort.

Approximately 60,000 to 70,000 Jews served in the British Armed Forces, representing about 20% of the Jewish population, a remarkable figure given the community's size.

Tragically, nearly 4,000 British Jewish soldiers lost their lives, accounting for 1% of the Jewish population.
