The Enduring Image
AJEX began over 80 years ago and has more than 5000 members currently.
The basic tenets on which AJEX was formed have always been:
Remembrance for the sacrifices of the past.
Help for those in need in the present.
Education for the future.
We remember our fallen comrades, with the dedication of the Jewish Military Memorial at the National Arboretum at Alrewas in Staffordshire, the Annual Parade and Service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall and in many other ceremonies around the country.
We oppose discrimination and intolerance. We fight the danger of the new Nazism and its ethnic cleansing, which threatens our liberty, and democracy itself.
We support the legitimate aspirations of Israel as a sovereign state which wishes to live in peace within secure frontiers.
We have set up a Record of Honour which lists over 60,000 names of Jewish members of the armed forces, who served between 1939 and 1960 and which can be accessed at our Jewish Military Museum. As well as on our Website.
Help for those in need is an ongoing AJEX commitment.
The welfare department makes regular cash grants advances to needy ex-service colleagues and their dependants as well as special grants to cover emergencies and special situations.
We have designed and built two mobile exhibitions that travel all over the UK to be displayed in public areas, such as shopping malls, schools, libraries, and civic centres, to educate the wider public to the role of Jews in the fighting services of the Crown.
In our multicultural society it is more important than ever to interact with our neighbours. We have begun a programme which goes into both Jewish and non-Jewish schools to help with the WW2 part of their curriculum. We have formed a team of speakers who use the school assembly and lunchtime periods to deliver a short but powerful message to the students and further initiatives are planned for the future. |
