Sir: Andrew Roberts is certainly wrong when he suggests that
Winston Churchill inherited a philo-Semitism from his father. He may have developed a favourable atti- tude towards the Jews in later life, but he did not show it at an earlier period.
Writing on the Russian Revolution in an article published in the 8 February 1920 issue of the London Illustrated Sunday Her- ald, he warned that Bolshevism was a `worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested develop- ment, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality'. He went on:
There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Rev- olution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews. It is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all oth- ers. With the notable. exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews ...
In the Soviet institutions the predominance of Jews is even more astonishing. And the prominent, if not indeed the principal, part in the system of terrorism applied by the Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution [the Cheka] has been taken by Jews, and in some notable cases by Jewesses .. .
