When war breaks out in 1914, he is sent to Egypt and then Gallipoli to fight for King and Empire. Assembled from recently discovered family photographs and a handful of letters, this short film tells the story of a child of immigrants who died for their adopted country. A story that is still familiar today: for what clearer sign of assimilation and loyalty is there than to volunteer to fight for one's country? The challenges Jews faced in Britain a century ago were a friction point in the First World War, yet many did serve loyally and A Kaddish for Selim tells the story of one of the two thousand three hundred who died.
