The secret code-breaking activities at Bletchley Park was one of the best kept secrets of the World War II and the intelligence provided by the code-breakers was decisive in shortening the War. Even today it is not appreciated that there was a significant Jewish story at the Park, as there were many Jewish personnel at Bletchley, both civilian and military and their number included many women. Key Jewish personnel at the Park were key figures in breaking the enemy codes and played a decisive part in the creation of the first modern computers that have defined our and created own era. Professor Maxwell Newman (1897-1984), was the architect of the Colossus computer, the world's first computer. The Bletchley Park Trust now preserve the site as a museum and this trail traces the Jewish stories at key huts and buildings.
