Abstract
Through the use of production files, correspondence and press cuttings held at the BBC's Written Archives Centre, this article provides an overview to the variety of Jews and Jewish life seen on British television from 1946 to 1955, including examples of television's first engagement with the Nazi persecution of the Jews of Europe. In so doing it demonstrates not only the diversity of representations, and thereby the multiple Jewish identities on display in post-war Britain, but also the richness of television and the BBC's archives for scholars of British Jewish studies.
