Cannons, Princeton.

Cannons, Princeton. The Big Cannon in the center of the quadrangle back of Nassau Hall and the Little Cannon between Whig and Clio Halls were both left in Princeton after the Revolution, and both loomed large in student life in the nineteenth century.

After lying on the Campus for years, the Big Cannon was taken to New Brunswick during the war of 1812 to defend that city from possible enemy attack. It remained on the common there until one dark night in 1835 when the Princeton Blues, a military company of citizens of the town, loaded it on a wagon and headed back to Princeton. Their wagon broke down at the outskirts of the town, and they abandoned the cannon at the side of the road. There it lay until another dark night a few years later, when about a hundred students, led by Leonard Jerome 1839 (maternal grandfather of Winston Churchill), hoisted it onto a heavy wagon they had engaged, along with a team of horses and driver, brought it to the campus, and -- before Vice-president Maclean could intervene -- dumped it in front of Nassau Hall. In 1840 it was moved and planted muzzle down in its present location.

Since the 1890s, the Big Cannon has been the focus of championship football bonfires and the seniors' class day exercises in June. It inspired Joseph F. Hewitt '07 and Arthur H. Osborne '07 to compose ``The Princeton Cannon Song'' (``With cheers and songs we'll rally round The Cannan as of yore/And Nassau's walls will echo with the Princeton Tiger's roar'').

The Little Cannon was the cause of the celebrated ``Cannon War'' with Rutgers in 1875, when it was taken to New Brunswick by Rutgers students under the mistaken impression that it was a lost cannon belonging to that city. After a retaliatory raid by Princeton students and some sharp correspondence between the presidents of the two colleges, a joint committee was appointed by the respective faculties and the dispute settled amicably, Princeton students agreeing to return some muskets they had taken from New Brunswick, Rutgers students the cannon they had taken from Princeton.

The day the New Brunswick chief of police brought the Little Cannon back to Princeton, President McCosh and the whole college assembled between the two Halls to greet him. The Nassau Hall bell rang and the President made a speech. He said he was reminded of the contest over Helen in the Trojan War and suggested that the Cannon War should be immortalized in a new Iliad, written in Greek and in hexameter verse. The students cheered wildly, but there is no evidence that McCosh's effort to give the Cannon War a cultural turn bore any fruit. The ``War,'' however, was well covered by the press.

Many know that FDR was a so called secret Jew, but not so many know about Churchill, even though it is now "publicly available knowledge" (eg it is mentioned by D Irving in his book Churchill's War).

"Cunning, no doubt, came to Churchill in the Jewish genes transmitted by his mother Lady Randolph Churchill, née Jenny Jacobson/Jerome." Moshe Kohn, Jerusalem Post, Jan.18, 1993.

WHO WAS WINSTON CHURCHILL?


The essential fact about Winston Churchill is that his mother's father was Leonard Jerome (formerly Jacobson, 1818-1891) a speculator and business partner of August Belmont (nee Shoenberg 1813-1890), who was Rothschild's main American representative.

Jennie Jerome's marriage to Randolph Churchill, the second son of the Duke of Marlborough appears to have been a marriage of convenience, typical of many unions between spendthrift English aristocrats and daughters of Jewish financiers.

I just googled it—Churchill’s mother’s maiden name was Jennie Jerome (supposedly originally Jacobson and changed by her father). I was just now looking at a site that claimed she was Jewish but it also claimed Franklin Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower were Jewish so how reliable it was is open to question.

1920: Winston Churchill (whose mother, Jenny (Jacobson) Jerome, was Jewish – meaning he is Jewish under Ashkenazi law as he was born of a Jewish mother) writes in an article in the Illustrated Sunday Herald, dated February 8th,

"From the days of Illuminati leader Weishaupt, to those of Karl Marx, to those of Trotsky, this worldwide conspiracy has been steadily growing.
And now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America, have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and become the undisputed masters of that enormous empire."


‘I have my own theories about Winston's real origins. These are based on the known facts about both his parents.

‘Known Fact 1: Winston's mother, Jenny Churchill (née Jacobson) was a notorious adulteress. Jenny Churchill's promiscuity was so infamous that ZOG Court Historian William Manchester commented on it in detail in Volume 1 of his now to be permanently incomplete Churchill "trilogy," The Last Lion.

‘Known Fact 2: Winston's putative father, Lord Randolph Churchill, treated Winston with distance and disdain. The non-existent father-son "relationship" has been the subject of exhaustive micro-analysis.

‘It seems not to have occurred to anyone that Winston may have been a literal as well as figurative bastard.’ Maguire, FAEM (www.faem.com), 9 February 2002

Jennie's teenage years were spent in Paris, where she and her family were made welcome at the court of the Emperor Louis Napoleon III and his wife the Empress Eugenie.

Lord Randolph Churchill married, in January 1874, Jennie, daughter of Mr Leonard Jerome of New York, U.S.A., by whom he had two sons. In 1900 Lady Randolph Churchill married Mr G. Cornwallis-West.

Society had gathered at Cowes for the yachting festival Lord Randolph Churchill among the rest. Mrs. Jerome had brought her two elder daughters to join in the gaieties of the regatta.

The trend on American brides for British husbands is probably best traced to the Jerome girls: Clara, Jennie, and Leonie, married in June 1881, April 1874, and October 1884, respectively. They were among the very first to attempt this trans-Atlantic marriage market, mainly because they were not welcome in New York Society, which was run by Mrs. Astor and her "Four Hundred."

Jerome settled a sum of £50,000 (approximately £2.5 million at present values), producing an income of £2,000 a year, with a half of both capital and income belonging to the husband and a half to the wife. The Duke settled another £1,100 a year for life on Randolph which gave the couple the equivalent of a present-day income of a little more than £150,000 a year, a sum which guaranteed that they would live constantly above their income and be always in debt.

Jeanette (Jennie) Jerome (January 9, 1854 - June 9, 1921) was an American society beauty, best known to history as the mother of British prime minister Winston Churchill.

She was born at 8 or 197 Amity Street, in the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn, New York, (the exact address differs between sources). She was the eldest daughter of financier Leonard Jerome and his wife, Clara Hall.

Leonard Jerome's wealth afforded his daughters the opportunity to spend much time in Europe See (and ) For the band of the same name, see Europe (band).

Lord Randolph Churchill to Jennie Jerome

On August 12, 1873, 24 year old Lord Randolph Churchill, youngest son of the duke of Marlborough, attended a ball given for the future tsar of Russia aboard H.M.S. Ariadne. The ship was moored off the fashionable English yachting resort of cowes on the Isle of Wight, just off the south coast of England, and there Randolph met 19 year old Jennie Jerome, a dark-haired, dark-eyed, and beautiful American.

The spirited and accomplished Jennie had been brought up in Paris by her mother, Clara, who was entranced by the social life of the French capital. But in 1870 the Franco-Prussian war broke out; Paris sank into gloom and the Jeromes left France for London to enjoy the social events of the summer. There, Jennie was presented to the prince and princess of Wales. The Jeromes then moved on to Cowes.

Lord Randolph was no dancer; after the first quadrille, he and Jennie sat and talked for the rest of the ball. It was a rare, mutual, and apparently genuine occurrence of love at first sight. The ball ended in the early evening, and Jennie persuaded her mother to ask Randolph back to dinner. Before the night was over he told a friend that he meant to marry "the dark one". Jennie, too, told her sister that she had a presentiment she would marry Randolph. Her sister laughed, but when Randolph proposed as they took a garden stroll the following evening, Jennie accepted him without hesitation.
Their parents were not pleased. Mrs. Jerome would not hear of so sudden an engagement; the duke of Marlborough thought Jennie's father, Leonard--a New York stockbroker--sounded like:

"a sporting, and I should think vulgar kind of man."

A week after the ball, Mrs. Jerome and Jennie returned to Paris as planned. Randolph bombarded his love with adoring letters such as the one extracted here. At first she was forbidden to reply. But by winter and throughout the following spring, letter flew between England and Paris, where Jennie was trying to pacify her mother while assuring Randolph,

"I could leave Father, Mother and the whole world for you if it were necessary."

From New York, Mr. Jerome wrote to his daughter,

"I always thought if you ever did fall in love it would be a dangerous affair. You were never born to love lightly."

Randolph finally put sufficient pressure on his parents, hinting that he would not be a candidate for the local parliamentary constituency of Woodstock unless they allowed him to marry Jennie. His gamble paid off. In the General Election of February 1874, Randolph won Woodstock by 65 votes, and on April 15 he married Jennie in the chapel of the British Embassy in Paris.

Once married, and immediately pregnant Jennie discovered that the family tensions within Blenheim Palace--the Marlborough's vast and drafty dwelling place near Oxford--needed calming influence on Randolph's hair-trigger temper. After the premature birth of her son Winston on November 30, 1874 (neither cradle nor baby clothes were ready), life became more exciting. The couple were welcomed into the brilliant social scene that centered on Queen Victoria's son, Edward, prince of Wales. than Randolph upset everything.

The wedding took place in the British embassy in Paris on April 15, 1874, with all the signs of a somewhat hushed and rushed affair. There was none of the splendor that an international society wedding of such wealth and standing would normally receive, no public ceremony, and little mention in the press. The Duke and Duchess [of Marlborough] were conspicuously absent.

Was [the bride] already pregnant? Piety says no, but the evidence suggests she might have been. Why else the rush, the discreet ceremony, and the pointed absence of the Marlboroughs — followed by a notably uncomplicated birth seven months later, of the lusty baby who was christened Winston.


To prevent his even more reckless brother, Blandford, from being citied in a divorce case, Randolph virtually blackmailed the prince, threatening to reveal compromising letters written by the prince to Lady Aylesford, the woman with whom blandford was involved. The Aylesford Affair brought Lord Randolph close to fighting a duel with the prince, upset Queen Victoria, and split English high society. Jennie supported Randolph, and for his sake gave up much of the glittering life she loved.

The Churchills shifted their formidable energies into politics. Jennie campaigned for Randolph in elections; a contemporary song celebrated her canvassing, wearing a bonnet with pink roses"

"And a smile that twinkled over
And that made a man most love her
Took the hearts and votes
of all Liberals in the town."

Randolph's rise was so rapid, his oratory so sparkling and unpredictable, that everything seemed possible for them. In July 1886 "Randy", age 37, became simultaneously chancellor of the exchequer and leader of the House of Commons. He was widely discussed as the next Conservative prime minister.

Jewess banging a Count

Then, for the first time, Randolph's devotion to Jennie seemed to cool. She suspected an affair, but could not prove it. She herself was unswervingly faithful; her devoted admirer,Count Charles Kinsky, remained only a consoling friend as Randolph blighted his own career with another reckless move. Anxious to force through his financial policies, he offered his resignation. It was intended as a threat, like the one that had won him Jennie. Unexpectedly, the prime minister, Lord Salisbury, called his bluff and accepted his resignation.

Went fron anothing to Chancellor of Exchequer Randolf died of syphilis

Churchill "is a rather cheap character" who, like his father, Randolph, displayed "levity, lack of sobriety, lack of permanent principle and an inordinate thirst for that cheap form of admiration which is given to notoriety."


Randolph never held high office again. Always an extravagant couple, they ran up debts as soon as his high income dwindled, and Randolph's behavior became ever more erratic. He suffered from a rare form of tumor on the brain, which medical science was unable to diagnose at the time. Modern medical techniques have recognized the malady, and also the serious affects of the drugs that he had been gien over a long period. During his last years, the pain he suffered was agonizing. In her despair, Jennie finally turned to Count Kinsky. But Kinsky was the heir to a considerable estate, and his father had threatened to disinherit him if he did not marry the wife already chosen for him. On January 9, 1895, Kinsky married someone else. And on January 24 Randolph died, at age 45. In one month Jennie lost both a faithful friend and the only man to whom she had given her heart.
Sometimes a great love expresses itself best in its children. The brilliant English politician and his dazzling, generous-hearted American wife left a unique legacy: their son, Winston

Leonard Jerome acquired a majority shareholder of the New York Times The New York Times is an internationally influential daily newspaper published in New York City, New York, and distributed worldwide.

Nicknamed "The Gray Lady" or The Times, the newspaper was founded as The New-York Daily Times in 1851 by Henry J. Raymond and George Jones as a sober alternative to the more partisan newspapers that dominated the New York journalism of the time. In its very first edition on September 18, 1851, the paper stated, "We publish today the first issue of the New-York Daily Times, and we intend to issue it every morning (Sundays excepted) for an indefinite number of years to come because at the New York Times] they were smart enough to set up Gatling guns in the windows. The co-owner is a guy named Leonard Jerome, who was at one of the Gatling guns. Leonard Jerome is the grandfather of Winston Churchill, Jenny Jerome is his daughter, who marries Randolph Churchill

Thoroughbred horse racing is the main form of horse-racing throughout the world. A trainer, who is hired by the thoroughbred horse's owner, would train the horses for a particular event (the horse trains on a local training track near the stable) and also enter horses into races that would suit the horse. Trainers also have professional relations with jockeys, who ride the horse and give feedback to the trainer after every run.

He helped establish the American Jockey Club and built the Jerome Park Racetrack in the Bronx in conjunction with financier August Belmont, Sr.
August Belmont, Sr. (December 8, 1816 - November 24, 1890) was born in Alzei, Prussia. He immigrated to New York in 1837 after becoming the American representative of the Rothschild family's banking house in Frankfort. On receiving his American citizenship, he married Caroline Perry, daughter of Commodore Matthew Perry.

Kinsky

Kinsky struck up a strong friendship with Jennie Jerome, the American born wife of Lord Randolph Churchill of "Ulster will fight and Ulster will be right" fame as well as being the parents of the future Sir Winston. She was thirteen years his senior and he was infatuated by her. Lady Randolph on the other hand later claimed that she would not have spent so much time as she did with Kinsky were it not for the unfounded rumours of an affair being spread by the society gossips

Churchill funded by Bernard Baruch

His mother, the glamorous but unmaternal Jenny Jerome, had been an American heiress, married to an impoverished scion of the British aristocracy in true Henry James style. Young Winston started lecturing in the States after his adventures in the Boer war, making trips as long as three months and earning what would now be £250,000 for his pains.

After a slow start his journalism and books sold well in the US, too. This was just as well. In the stock market crash of 1929 the ever-extravagant ex-chancellor, now entering his "wilderness years", lost the equivalent of £500,000. To add injury to insult he was crossing Fifth Avenue in 1932 to visit his loyal friend, the financier Bernard Baruch, when a taxi travelling at 30mph nearly killed him. Churchill blamed himself, not the cabbie.


 

The seven episodes of Jennie, Lady Randolph Churchill followed the life and loves of Jennie as she finds herself and her husband drawn into a disastrous social scandal, ostracised and sent to Ireland where Jennie throws her full energy into supporting her husband, electioneering, canvassing, knocking on doors and organising political meetings and becoming the founder of the Primrose League, a grass roots Tory association, which attracted two million members. Eventually seeing the couple return to England with Randolph’s power and prestige increased until, following a rift of eight years, the Prince of Wales decides to invite the Churchill’s back into his circle and Jennie assumes her place as one of the foremost women in the country. She becomes one of the most widely photographed women in Britain and her beauty becomes almost legendary. But just as her life appears to be entering a golden-phase disaster strikes once again.

Randolph, increasingly involved with his career to the neglect of his marriage, becomes unpredictable and develops a violent temper. But the reason is far more sinister than just ruthless ambition. Randolph is suffering from syphilis, which he probably contracted when he was a student. As the marriage begins to fall apart,

Slept Prince of Wales

	Jennie becomes the subject of gossip; rumours of her love affairs link her to everyone from the Prince of Wales downwards. On the death of her husband Jennie is left bankrupt and embarks on a new life.

Churchill thrown out of England

During Bertie's last weeks in India an unfortunate incident occurred in England that would damage Bertie's prestige again. Lord Aylesford, one of Bertie's friends, had accompanied him on his trip to India. During his absence, his wife, Lady Aylesford, a young, sybaritic, spoiled and dissolute woman, was involved in a love affair with Lord Blandford, the eldest son and heir of the Duke of Marlborough. Bertie had innocently flirted with Lady Aylesford some years before and he had written her some foolish letters. When Lord Aylesford learned of his wife's adultery, he , supported by Bertie, who said Blandford was "the greatest rabble alive", threatened to divorce his wife.

But Blandford's younger brother, Lord Randolph Churchill, was decided to avoid the Aylesford at any price, since it could cause the ruin of his family. Churchill, accompanied by Lady Aylesford, paid a visit to the Princess of Wales and told her, with little respect for her royal rank, and threatened her saying that if Lord Aylesford began a divorce process, he would summon the Prince of Wales to declare before a court and would publish the letters written by Bertie to Lady Aylesford, a matter that could prevent the Prince from succession to the throne.

Lord Randolph Churchill
 

Alix was astonished and didn't know what to do. She went to see the Queen, who was infuriated with Churchill's blackmail and for having involved the Princess in such disagreeable matter. Bertie for his part, while sailing on the Serapis on his way home, had learned of Churchill's attempt of blackmail; he was also told that Lord Randolph was accusing him of having invited Lord Aylesford to India so that his wife could be free to attend her adventure with Blandford.

He was infuriated and challenged Churchill to duel. But Lord Randolph rejected the challenge writing an insulting letter to the Prince. By April 1876 the news of the scandal had spread all around London.

When Bertie and Aylesford arrive, the latter publicly declared, on May 12, he was not to divorce his wife. Later on they separated quietly. Churchill sent Bertie a brief note of apology which the Prince rejected. Instead he declared that he and Alix would never set a foot again in the house of any who offered hospitality to Lord Randolph or his wife. The Churchills fled to the United States an enforced holiday. Bertie's dispute with Lord Randolph would last eight years more, although Bertie had accepted a more complete apology he himself prepared.

 Bertie's quarrel with Lord Randolph Churchill had ended in 1884 and they re-established their old friendship. Alix was glad to be friend again of Lord Randolph's wife, Jeannie Jerome, for whom she felt sympathy and admiration. Churchill's political career developed quickly; in 1885 he became leader of the House of Commons and later on he became Chancellor of the Exchequer under Lord Salisbury's ministry. During this time, he maintained Bertie well informed about the private management of the Cabinet and passed him copies of official confidential papers. It was the first time the Prince had access to Government affairs. Lord Randolph also guided the Prince in all important speeches he had to pronounce.

Lord Randolph resigned to the Exchequer when he tried to introduce some reforms that were not supported by the Conservative Party. He thought he would pressure the party by resigning, but unexpectedly for him, Lord Salisbury accepted his resignation that meant a shock for him. For 1890, Lord Randolph was completely retired from his political career. During six years Bertie tried to convince his friend to return to policy, but it was in vain. The Wales's and the Churchills continued with their friendship; Bertie and Alix supported Jeannie Churchill throughout the decline in Lord Randolph's health , caused probably by an excess of drug consumption in order to balance his nervous system. He died on January 24, 1895 when he was 45 years of age.
 

Synopsis
This book talks about the remarkable, tempestuous life of controversial American society girl and mother of Winston Churchill, Jennie Jerome - feminist, advocate of Irish independence, and, above all, notoriously promiscuous. It charts her luxurious New York upbringing, eyebrow-raising entry into the British aristocracy through marriage to Lord Randolph Churchill, her endless line of liaisons with much younger men and a

very different sort of affair in the highest of places - with the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VII (one of many kings and princes to win her affection). Finally, Higham reveals the woman for whom advancing age was never an obstacle to pursuing her wildest passions while retaining the favour of the Establishment. Her death in a household accident came at the dawn of the Swinging Twenties - a period that could have been written for her.

From the Inside Flap
Jennie, Lady Randolph Churchill, mother of England's greatest statesman, was a single-minded and dynamic woman, who overcame the scandal of a criminal father and an upbringing spent largely in exile in Europe, where she survived revolutions and mass murders, to be the first American woman to conquer London society and play a major role in British politics. In this sensational new book, bestselling author Charles Higham draws from previously overlooked sources in America and Britain to provide much that is startlingly new. Decades before women had the vote, Jennie broke the rules by campaigning at elections for her husband, Lord Randolph Churchill, pushing him from obscurity and uselessness to the most spectacular parliamentary career of the late Victorian era. The couple's role in the acquisition of Upper Burma's rubies and railways has disturbing parallels with the Iraq campaigns of our time. But, with her support, Lord Randolph exposed the wholesale corruption!
– and resultant major loss of life – in the Army and Navy, the real and never-previously-given reason for his notorious resignation from the government in 1885. Among Jennie's lovers were an Austrian spy, the illegitimate son of an Anglo-Irish earl, and various noblemen who, like her second and third husbands, were in the same age group as her magnificent son, Winston Churchill. The age difference caused her to become the centre of a number of scandals, and she defied political enemies to bring a powerful influence to bear on Winston as Home Secretary, when she urged him to bring about prison reform. A staunch freethinker, she edited her own magazine, fought for Protestant interests in Ireland and sailed a hospital ship to South Africa, where she risked her life in the Boer War. Decades before it finally became a reality, she also fought for a National Theatre of Great Britain. Passionately in love with life, expressive of her sexuality when women were supposed to hide it!
, beautiful and independent minded, Jennie Churchill was decades ahead of her time.
 

The problem I see here, though, is that the promiscuous English lady of title was nothing new in the 1920s. Let's take Winston Churchill's mother, Jennie, wife of Lord Randolph Churchill, whose promising political career was cut short by tertiary syphilis, as just one accessible example. Robert K. Massie says of her in Dreadnought (a book of which I can't speak highly enough),


200 lovers

Jennie took lovers; one estimate was that she had two hundred. Society did not doubt that one conquest was Albert Edward, Prince of Wales. Jennie did not flaunt her lovers and Randolph -- who had no choce -- accepted them, although on one occasion he ran the Prince of Wales out of his house and on another he attacked one of her companions with his fists. The couple took long, separate vacations. . . . When Winston was seven, his mother spent time on the Irish estate of Colonel John Strange Jocelyn, a famous horseman. Jennie became pregnant, and when the child was born named it John Strange Churchill. . . Winston's only brother, Jack.


We can get a glimpse here both of a level of social cynicism that has its roots deep in the nineteenth century (though it probably goes back even farther; Edward VII had much in common with Charles II), as well as, in Jennie Churchill, one example of the existential, "self made" promiscuous lady of title, the image of which has a fascination in the character Brett. Brett is in divorce proceedings with Lord Ashley; Jennie Churchill had no need of this expedient, as Randolph became an invalid and died early. Massie goes on,


Almost from the moment of Randolph's death, [Winston's] relationship to her changed. Churchill himself summarized their new connection: "I was now in my twenty-first year and she never sought to exercise parental control. Indeed, she soon became an ardent ally, furthering my plans and guarding my interests with all her influence and boundless energey. [indeed] She was still, at forty, young, beautiful, and fascinating. . . ." Winston knew about her lovers; at sixteen he wrote to his brother that he had arrived home unexpectedly from Harrow and "found Mamma and Count Kinsky breakfasting."

King Edward

Edward VII (Albert Edward; 9 November 1841 – 6 May 1910) was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, King of the Commonwealth Realms, and the Emperor of India. He was the son of Queen Victoria and was the first British monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. He reigned from 22 January 1901 until his death on 6 May 1910.

Before his accession to the throne, Edward held the title of Prince of Wales, and has the distinction of having been heir apparent to the throne longer than anyone in English or British history. Edward's reign, now called the Edwardian period, saw the first official recognition of the office of the Prime Minister. He became the first British monarch to visit Russia (1908). Edward also played a role in the modernization of the British Home Fleet and the reform of the Army Medical Services, after the Second Boer War.

Jeanette (Jennie) Jerome CI DStJ, known also as Lady Randolph Churchill (January 9, 1854 – June 9, 1921) was an American society beauty, best known to history as the mother of British prime minister Winston Churchill.

ancestry records

Since, according to Jewish law, anyone born to a Jewish mother is
Jewish, look who's Jewish!

GERALDO RIVERA
Lillian Friedman married Cruz Rivera. They named their baby, Geraldo Miguel Rivera. (Funny, it doesn't sound Jewish)

FIORELLA LAGUARDIA
Fiorella Laguardia's mother's name was Jacobson. His father was not Jewish.
Laguardia spoke seven languages - including Hebrew and Yiddish fluently.

WINSTON CHURCHILL
Winston Churchill's mother's name was Jenny Jerome. Jerome Avenue in the Bronx is named for her family who were Bronx landowners.

CARY GRANT
Cary Grant's mother, Elsie, was Jewish. His father, Elias Leach, was not. Grant's original name was Archibald Alexander Leach. (Robin Leach is his first cousin).

From an Internet page
Churchill's "Jewish mother"

by David Burbridge ("David B.")

IN the British Press there has recently been some controversy about Winston Churchill and alleged anti-semitism. An unpublished magazine article of 1938, not written by Churchill but allegedly approved for publication in his name, contains references to Jews which would get him into trouble today, though at the time they would have seemed relatively innocuous.

But what I want to discuss is a claim that Churchill himself had Jewish ancestry on his mother's side. According to a letter by Mark Corby in the London Times on 22 March, 'his mother Jenny Jacobson/Jerome was a New York Jew, as was pointed out by Moshe Kohn in an article in The Jerusalem Post of January 18, 1993'. But a letter on 26 March from David Watson denied this, claiming that Churchill's American ancestry could be traced back to the early 18th century, without a sign of any 'Jacobson'.

Now I don't personally care much whether Churchill had Jewish ancestry or not, but I see from the internet that this claim (specifically, that his maternal grandfather changed his name from Jacobson to Jerome) is popular in certain circles. Why did Churchill hate that nice Mr Hitler? Why did he betray the Aryan race? Why, it's obvious, isn't it -- he was one of those!

So I wanted to see whether there is any basis for the claim. I began with an internet search, but found nothing to support the claim other than repeated references to the article by Moshe Kohn. Since a newspaper article is hardly a good primary source, this does not inspire confidence.

My next step was to visit a library with excellent biographical collections. There are countless biographies of Churchill, a few of his mother Jenny, and one of his mother's father, Leonard Jerome. On browsing relevant parts of these, I found them unanimous in tracing Churchill's Jerome ancestry back to Timothy Jerome, of Huguenot descent, who migrated to America around 1717. Of course, this might all be an elaborate cover story, but if so it is one that could easily be refuted.

The biographies contain references to public figures, such as Leonard Jerome's uncle Judge Hiram Jerome, and records in public archives which could be checked by anyone suspicious of a cover-up.

The only serious gap in the official records of Churchill's ancestry is a long way back in the female line, which cannot be traced beyond his great-great-grandmother, Anna Baker. According to family legend, she was part-Iroquois Indian, which the family believed accounted for the prevalence of dark eyes or complexion in the family.

This does have a certain whiff of cover-up, but if so the cover-up may be of something other than Jewish blood. According to one account, Churchill himself believed there was a drop of black somewhere in his ancestry (see Elisabeth Kehoe, Fortune's Daughters: The Extravagant Lives of the Jerome Sisters (2004), p.4). In any case, the usual claims of Jewish ancestry concern Churchill's mother's father, Leonard Jerome, and not the female line leading back to Anna Baker.

Nevertheless, to be sure that I had not missed anything, I searched the internet again, and found two pieces of 'evidence' occasionally cited in support of the story. One is a claim that Churchill's cousin, the Irish writer and politician Shane Leslie, wrote a biography of Churchill which was left unpublished at Churchill's insistence, allegedly because it let the cat out of the bag concerning the Jeromes' Jewish ancestry.

But Shane Leslie also wrote his own autobiography, Long Shadows, published after Churchill's death, in which he described his Jerome ancestors. Leslie passed on his researches into the family history to his daughter, Anita Leslie, who wrote biographies of both Leonard and Jenny Jerome, and to Ralph Martin, biographer of Jenny (Ralph G. Martin, Lady Randolph Churchill: A Biography (1969).) None of these books mentions any Jewish ancestry.

If Shane Leslie had discovered a secret which he was persuaded not to publish during Churchill's lifetime, why would he continue to suppress it after Churchill's death?



THE other piece of 'evidence' is a claim that the historian David Irving had proved Churchill's Jewish ancestry in his book Churchill's War. If David Irving told me the time, I would check five different clocks before I accepted it, but he does admittedly have a reputation for finding new documentary evidence (usually provided by elderly Nazis), so I naturally went back to the library to look at Churchill's War.

In volume 1, published in 1987, I find nothing to suggest any Jewish ancestry for Churchill. But in volume 2, published in 2001, at last we find a reference - in a real, published book -- to Churchill being 'born of partly Jewish blood' and having a 'part-Jewish mother' (page xii). So I turned with trembling hands to the end-notes (page 855) to find the documentary basis for these assertions - only to find nothing but a reference to Moshe Kohn's article of 18 January 1993!

So it seems that all roads lead to Kohn. I therefore decided I must track down his article in The Jerusalem Post. I did not expect this to be easy, but I found that the JP has searchable online archives going back at least to 1993.

On searching for articles by Moshe Kohn referring to Churchill I got a surprise. There is indeed a relevant article, but its date is not 18 January, as stated by Irving and all the others, but 15 January. This has two fairly obvious implications: first, those repeating the incorrect date are copying directly or indirectly from David Irving, and second, they have not read the article for themselves. If they had, they might be less confident in their assertions.

The article itself is clearly aimed at an Israeli audience with Israeli preoccupations. It begins with a passage of heavy sarcasm:

THANK God - at last we know the truth about Winston Churchill: he was a psychopathic revanchist, obsessed with defeating Germany in World War II, thus preventing Adolf Hitler from saving civilization from the Red menace. Several rational British historical revisionists have just revealed this, half a century after Churchill inflicted all that pain and grief on those poor Germans.
These 'revisionists' are not named, but David Irving himself (at that time still not entirely discredited) is one obvious target. Another possibility is John Charmley, whose book Churchill: A Political Biography, appeared around the beginning of 1993.

But Kohn continues:

Or is it a related idiosyncrasy that bothers those revisionists? I mean the streak that caused Churchill to draw on Jewish - particularly biblical - modes and language, especially regarding the treatment of enemies like Hitler and Mussolini. Are they particularly galled by his penchant for calling on God, despite his rejection of "the Christian or any other form of religious belief" (as he wrote to his mother in 1898)? And with typical Churchillian cunning, he did all that in the name of "Christian civilization"... (That cunning no doubt came to Churchill in the Jewish genes transmitted by his mother, Lady Randolph Churchill, née Jenny Jacobson/Jerome. )
And that's it. That is the entirety of Kohn's discussion of Churchill's alleged Jewish ancestry. It is not even clear that it is intended seriously. (Kohn died in 2005, so we cannot ask him.)

The whole of Kohn's first paragraph, directed at the 'revisionists', is written in a mode of sarcasm. (The rest of the article is a defence of Churchill, who is presented as a model for hard-line Israeli politicians.)

Kohn evidently suspected that the revisionists had an underlying anti-semitic motive, and his reference to Churchill's Jewish ancestry may be nothing more than an allusion to some pre-existing anti-semitic rumour or fantasy. On the assumption that Moshe Kohn himself was Jewish -- which seems a fair guess -- he would hardly have seriously referred to 'cunning... in the Jewish genes': a stereotypical piece of anti-semitic nonsense.

But even if Kohn's reference to Churchill's Jewish ancestry was intended seriously, it is of no value as historical evidence, and no competent historian would rely on it without supporting documentation.

I conclude that there is no worthwhile evidence to support the claim of Jewish ancestry, and there seems to be strong documentary evidence against it. I say seems, because I have not examined the archival sources for myself. But the burden of proof is on those who wish to show that the official account is false.



PPS: While on Churchillian themes, I take the opportunity to recommend the HBO/BBC drama The Gathering Storm. I was impressed by this when it was first screened, and I watched it again recently on DVD. It has a superb cast, including Albert Finney, Vanessa Redgrave, Jim Broadbent, Derek Jacobi, Tom Wilkinson, Linus Roache, Lena Headey, Celia Imrie, Hugh Bonneville, and a host of familiar character actors in minor roles. Indeed, this got a bit distracting: I kept expecting Hugh Laurie to pop up playing Bertie Wooster. Also, the background music was sometimes intrusive. And the script (like Churchill's memoirs on which it was based) was probably unfair to Stanley Baldwin. But all quibbles apart, it was a fine drama, above all for Albert Finney's performance as Churchill. -- David B
 

Churchill's "Jewish Mother": the debate goes on


NO SOONER had we posted this item today Sunday, April 15, 2007 than a reader emails us: Please forgive me, but I did an "internet search" for this "David B." who made this great discovery of your printing the wrong date on the Jerusalem Post's article on Churchill jewish ancestry. This what I found [ source]:

"... When June Gordon, biology-know-nothing, denies race we all laugh at her ignorance and when a blogger with a biology background who's supposed to know better, such as David B, does it, we all ... well ... we all laugh at his ignorance ... but when a big-shot professor denies it in this day and age, what are we to make of that?

"What I make of it is the Jewish genes at work: Franz Boas, Ashley Montague, Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Lewontin, Leon Kamin, and so on, predictably ad nauseam -- essentially all Jewish academics -- deny race with something like five exceptions worldwide and that's not much of an exaggeration, and they concoct the most obvious, laughable even, sophistries in order to do it!"
 

This playground is named to honor Jennie Jerome (1854-1921), best known as the mother of Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965), the great Prime Minister of England who helped lead the Allied Forces to victory in World War II. Jennie Jerome, and the daughter of Leonard Jerome (1817-1891), a wealthy New York financier, patron of the arts, and sportsman, was also a prominent member of English society in her own right.

Jeanette Jerome was born at 426 Henry Street in Brooklyn, and raised in New York City. One of her father’s residences, intended for winter weekends, was located in the Bronx, near the present-day site of Villa Avenue. In 1867, Jennie Jerome traveled to Paris with her mother and two sisters, where they mingled with the European upper classes. A beautiful young woman, Jennie caught the attention of Lord Randolph Churchill (1849-1895), a dashing young English nobleman with strong political ambitions, and they married in 1874. Graceful, witty, and charming, Jennie Jerome Churchill was an immediate success in British high society. She rarely became involved in politics, but was an outspoken opponent of women’s right to vote. Consequently, she and her son Winston were often heckled by enraged suffragettes. After Lord Churchill died in 1895, she occupied herself by editing a short-lived literary magazine and writing several books and plays. Some of her quotes remain famous today, such as “There is no such thing as a moral dress – it’s the people who are moral or immoral,” and “Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light.” Jennie Jerome remarried twice and died in 1921.

Jennie Jerome’s father, Leonard Jerome, was a prominent figure in New York society whose successes on the stock market earned him the nickname “The King of Wall Street.” Leonard Jerome was a patron of the arts who founded the American Academy of Music, and was an avid sportsman who helped found the American Jockey Club. In 1866, Jerome, his brothers, and the financier August Belmont (1816-1890) opened the Jerome Park Racetrack in The Northern Bronx. Equipped with a large dining room, magnificent ballroom, and clubhouse accommodations equal to those of the finest hotels, the horseracing track was a smashing success, and soon became the place to be seen for members of New York society. However, the city condemned the racetrack property for use of the New Croton Aqueduct in 1890, and constructed the Jerome Park Reservoir on the site.

Jennie Jerome Playground sits next to Jerome Avenue, which is named for her father. The road was originally laid out in 1874 as a wood plank road named Central Avenue, which connected the Central Bridge (now the Macombs Dam Bridge) with the Jerome Park Racetrack. In 1888, the road was paved and converted into a tree-lined boulevard, and the Board of Aldermen planned to rename it after an alderman. Leonard Jerome’s wife, Kate Hall Jerome, protested, and with her own money had bronze street signs bearing the name “Jerome Avenue” installed on the street. The Board of Aldermen quietly dropped the matter afterward.

This property was acquired in 1950 as part of the condemnation for the adjacent Cross-Bronx Expressway. The parkland contains a flagpole with a yardarm, play equipment, swings, and several London planetrees. Sitting between the Jerome Avenue subway and the Cross-Bronx Expressway, Jennie Jerome Playground provides a place for children and adults to play and relax. A $195,975 renovation in 2000, funded by Mayor Giuliani and Council Member Wendell Foster, included adding play equipment with new safety surfacing.
