Description
It is an entire history, the result of years of research, that Henri Minczeles recalls here, in all its religious, cultural and political dimensions: nearly a thousand years of a past rich in events, and of a people rich in heritage.
Henri Minczeles tells the saga of a minority struggling to hold onto its land and live peacefully in a country that was not always hospitable. He shows the extraordinary resilience of the Ashkenazi community, in the face of anguish and precariousness.
