Tercentenary Cele oration of Jewish
Return to Britain Begins in London
LONDON (J T A) — Lord
Samuel opened an Anglo-
Jewish art and historical ex-
hibition at the Victoria and
Albert Museum to inaugurate
the year-long celebration of
the tercentenary of the return
of Jewry to Britain. Paintings,
engravings, documents, religious
objects, art objects, books and
photographs were displayed to
illustrate the history of British
Jewry from its return to Eng-
land, from which it had been
expelled in 1290, until the pres-
ent. Included in the exhibition
was a Rembrandt engraving of
Menasseh ben Israel, the Am-
sterdam rabbi who led the re-
turning movement.
Highlight of the exhibit in-
clude the letter from Lord Bal-
.. four to Lord Rothschild con-
veying the British government's
support for the establishment of
a Jewish National Home in
Palestine—better known to his-
tory as the Balfour Declaration;
a message from King George V
to the people of Palestine on
the occasion of the inaugura-
tion Of the British Mandate in
Palestine, printed in gold in
the English, Hebrew and Ara-
bic languages, and a 200-year-
old painting by a London Jew-
ish painter, Peter Paul Lens,
which was loaned by Queen
Elizabeth, a patron of the ter-
centenary. A small suction of
the exhibition deals with Jewish
life in England before the ex-
pulsion.
Opening the exhibition, Lord
Samuel said that although the
Jews were less than one per
cent of the total population of
Britain they had perhaps con-
tributed more than that share
to the political, cultural and
economic life of this country.
He noted that the children of
Jewish refugee immigrants who
came to Britain at the turn of
the century had rendered great
service to Britain as scientists
—there were five times as
many Jews among Fellows of
the Royal Society as the pro-
portion of Jews to the general
population, he stressed. He also
underlined the contributions of
Jews in the fields of law, ad-
ministration, music, drama, corn-
merce and industry.
Lard Samuel recalled that
from the day of their return
Jews had enjoyed liberty in
Britain, but that it had taken
them 200 years to achieve
