Without the British stand in WWII it is debatable that any Jews would be alive today.

If the British had lost the Battle of Britain then most Jews,maybe all, would have been destroyed, along with many other groups of people.

Jewish people should be very aware of this and thankful to the British,and Polish, fighters who defeated Hitler at the Battle of Britain.

"Jewish people should be very aware of this". Britain was not fighting to save Jews, and the liberation of the camps was a by-product of the Allied victory over Germany.

Having said that, I would add that late in 1942 there was some public discussion in the media in Britain about what might be done to help the Jews - and in November 1942 the News Chronicleactually described what was happening to the Jews as a holocaust ... (It was the first time this word was used in this context). However, attention shifted to other matters.
