Focus: A Footnote to the History of the Thirties

 

The Focus Group was a group funded heavily by wealthy Zionist backers like Sir Robert Waley-Cohen, Eugen Spier, and Robert Mond, dedicated to opposing appeasement and advocating for British rearmament for war against Germany. Its support would ensure Winston Churchill's political and financial survival.

 

Waley Cohen, furnished the initial £50,000 (equivalent to £2.8 million today) to launch The Focus at a private dinner of prominent British Jews in July 1936. This sum allowed for significant political and media influence, including the recruitment of prominent journalists.

 

Over the summer of 1936, private meetings were convened around Winston Churchill, and finance for group events provided by Robert MondEugen Spier (1891–1971), and Robert Waley Cohen. A public meeting was planned for December, in the Albert Hall.[4] The operations of this Focus were not generally known until 1963.[5] In that year, Spier published a book Focus, a Footnote to the History of the Thirties giving a detailed account.
