, a sebag montefiore like me. and, um, his job was to run jerusalem, and it was very peaceful at that time. and, um, i found the family papers. all of his -- this book is overwhelmingly a work of synthesis. um, you know, i especially chose the summit in this a way -- subject in a way, there wasn't time to go archives, but there is quite a lot of stuff which is new archival material, and one of the things from my family poemers is the papers of the provost general. now, basically, his job -- there was no tension between jews and arabs at that point. but the big problem was stopping australian soldiers going into brothels in jerusalem. and allenby gave very clear instructions, and this is all in the archive that he was to stop these australians who would not be put off the brothels of jerusalem of which there were many at that time. and, um, so my answer to -- i think it was called major jeffrey sebag montefiore would regularly raid these brothels, haul out australian squatties and clap them in shackles and put them

but montefiore started it. he brought a little bit of england to jerusalem because this windmill didn't work for very long. fascinatingly in 1940 -- what i was going to say that he built a windmill, but also built the cottage is coming to rose, which you would have seen if you'd been to michigan. it's near the king david hotel. he built at the time, this cottage is look out of place, but then so do many things. what they look like his fate, gothic battlements a committee of a castle. of course they look exactly like a golf club from london suburbia built at that time. that's exactly the time they were built. interestingly in 1848 or 47 at the battle for palestine began, the palestinian irregulars to possession of the jaffa gate and the walls of jerusalem. the city who have been there'll roughly built to picture this. you've got the montefiore windmill here. and the king david hotel was controlled by the british and had a huge fortification near that. as the battle started, the jewish defenders actually used thi

luckily for montefiore. he is exactly what the victoria in nearest -- aristocrats thought 614, barrel chester, fair hair, in one of those people who had great charm when queen victoria met him she would say i saw montefiore what should grand hebrew he was which was a great complement but would not go down so well today but he england was in a strange situation and 90 of the leaders of britain with evangelicals believed in the return of the jews to israel as every gathering of the jewish people and ultimately this would accelerate both of their hopes for british control and also the second coming that coincides with a montefiore. he was very friendly of the evangelicals. there were very similar. when montefiore went to jerusalem he was a world the english gentleman who made his first fortune who was jewish but not orthodox. when he saw jerusalem he felon love and when seven times wrecker he said when he received his knighthood from queen victoria i am proud to see my banner fluttering of all but i was to rece

but any way they would call on about how wonderful moses montefiore was, he was the family st.e felt like all great victorians he had a secret life. the next day his nephew went to his house and burned all his papers. always a bad sign. so the reason we discover many rumors about his life he was very happily married but was also clearly a typical victorian and we've discovered the age of he fathered a child so this is shocked to the altar members who are 80, 90, almost finished them off. [laughter] but i have to say that for the younger members of family biggar lot more interested in montefiore work. that's how it became another great challenge coming from this background was to write else i said and unbiased history of jerusalem. there are so much to say about it but one of the first things is that every religion has its methodology which if you are a believer you believe is of so with a true. if you are not that some ridiculous. and so, for jews there's abraham, david, solomon who rises on a first day from arabia when a horse with wings and a human face took montefiore to jer

mill here controlled by the british and the have a huge and as the battle started to attack the montefiores they called it into the jewish defender is actually used these battlements as they were very useful so they said that purpose but the british were actually sort of backing and at one point they blew off the top of the wind mill which i can't forgive them for. so that's the background and of course the was the beginning of the family connection to jerusalem. they went down through many generations. when 1917 when the british took jerusalem from a simple for the british empire by coincidence the person who made the military police chief was the nephew of moses montefiore, like mechem and his job was to run jerusalem and was very peaceful at that time. and i found in the family papers -- this book is a work of synthesis and assure the subject in a way to the archives but there is also quite a lot of
