Jewish Military Museum

The Jewish Military Museum was a museum located in Hendon, Barnet, North London, which featured exhibits about Jews serving in the British armed forces from the 18th century to the present day.

[1] The idea for the museum originated with Henry Morris, who saw it as a way of remembering those who had died in active service, and of countering the mistaken belief that Jews have avoided fighting in the armed forces.

[2] Morris worked with Ajex's archivist Martin Sugarman to expand the collection,[2] which necessitated a move to a larger space.

[2] The museum held a range of items relating to Jewish people who have served in the British armed forces, including uniforms, medals, photographs, letters and official documents.

[3] Between November 2010 and January 2011, the museum loaned some of its artefacts for an external exhibition at Cardiff Castle.
