Michael Howard is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Leader of the British Conservative Party (2003-05) and Home Secretary; son of a Romanian Jewish immigrant who fled the Holocaust.
Born in Swansea to a Jewish family — his father a Romanian immigrant whose relatives were murdered in the Holocaust, his mother Welsh-Jewish — Michael Howard was Home Secretary and then, from 2003 to 2005, leader of the Conservative Party and of the Opposition. He is remembered as much for the marathon interview in which Jeremy Paxman put the same question to him twelve times as for the immigration and criminal-justice policies he defended. He sits in the Lords as Baron Howard of Lympne.
