La Salle History Professor John Rossi has written that while "The King's Speech" is a fine film, it is not historically accurate. Omitted is the anti-semitism that many British felt in the 1930s; Rossi reported that King George VI opposed having Jews resettle in Palenstine after the War.
Check out Dr. Rossi's oped in the Philadelphia Inquirer on the matter:
