FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Churchill Archives Centre at the University of Cambridge is the primary repository for his documents and personal papers with over 1 million items. Other major Churchill institutions in Britain include the Churchill War Rooms and Museum and Chartwell, the Churchill family’s home.
Much of Churchill’s memorabilia has never been shown in the United States, so the new centre could borrow materials from the British institutions.
Members of the US-based Churchill Centre will build a collection to be housed in Washington, said Lee Pollock, the group’s executive director. Several members have personal collections they seek to donate to a permanent library, rather than sell. The Washington collection could amass more than 1,000 volumes, he added.
The gift will also create endowments to support a professor and a curator position devoted to Churchill and 20th-century British history.
“Americans are especially devoted Churchillians,” Pollock said. The British icon is “probably the most collectable and collected statesman” of at least the last century, having written over 15 million words and about 50 different books as a historian and writer, Pollock said.
Churchill thought of himself as a “personal bridge” between Britain and the United States, with an American mother and British father, Knapp said. His work with President Franklin D. Roosevelt helped draw the US into the Second World War against Japan and Nazi Germany.
“Of course that produced a tremendous alliance that had extremely important consequences,” Knapp said. “Although he is from outside America, he in many ways stands for America’s relationship with the larger world.”
