Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The need to give Palestine to the Jews is almost tangible. If the Jews won’t disembark here, they will have no future. The Jewish people desperately need a new place, a new beginning, and a new mode of existence.#2 My great-grandfather, Herbert Bentwich, was a leading figure in the Anglo-Jewish community. He was married to a beautiful, artistic wife who was raising nine children in their magisterial Avenue Road home. He was a self-made man who loved travel, poetry, and theater.#3 The second answer is that Herbert Bentwich was way ahead of his time.
