As part of the British soccer team Chelsea FC\u2019s \u201cSay No to Antisemitism\u201d campaign, the Chelsea Foundation and the Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum have partnered on a project that will highlight Jews who served in the RAF.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chelsea Foundation and the museum announced<\/a> an expansion of the museum\u2019s \u201cHidden Heroes\u201d project<\/a> featuring a new Bomber Command exhibition, focusing on the previously little-known stories of Jewish personnel in the RAF during World War II and the vital role they played in defeating the Luftwaffe (Nazi Germany\u2019s air force) in the Battle of Britain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new Bomber Command exhibition at the museum\u2019s London and Cosford sites will open in 2023. The partnership is sponsored by Chelsea FC owner and Russian-Israeli businessman Roman Abramovich.<\/span><\/p>\n

New additions to the \u201cHidden Heroes\u201d project will include in-gallery screens that explain contributions by Jewish personnel to the Bomber Command. The Avro-Lancaster \u2014 a British World War II heavy bomber on display at the museum \u2014 will be accompanied by a large augmented reality screen that will show Jewish RAF members sharing personnel stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the announcement by Chelsea FC, \u201cThe partnership will also bring to life the Jewish \u2018Hidden Heroes\u2019 Community Outreach Program, which will extend to the wider community through school networks in London, sharing the positive narrative of the Jews fighting for their country and the survival of their race.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

RAF Museum CEO Maggie Appleton said, \u201cMore than ever we need to challenge prejudice in all its ugly forms, and more than ever we need to educate young minds as to the experiences of previous generations \u2013 those who suffered as well as those who fought back. I am incredibly proud of our partnership with the Chelsea Foundation and the Jewish Hidden Heroes project and hope that it goes some way to challenging the rise of antisemitism and wider racism in society. These are inspiring stories of courage and human spirit which will endure and resonate.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n
