This book tells the story of Judaism from the medieval ghettos
through the Enlightenment to the tragedy of the Holocaust and the
birth of modern Israel, with over 250 illustrations. It is a rich
visual account of one of the world's great religions, following
Judaism through centuries of persecution to the establishment of a
global civilization. It offers special focus on Jewish culture and
society in recent times, including medicine, science, art,
literature and music. This in-depth history of the Jewish faith
explores how Jews have lived under Christianity and Islamic rule,
survived centuries of anti-Semitism, life in the Diaspora, the
Holocaust and the revival of Judaism today. In the 19th century,
mass migration to America coincided with the rise of Zionism.
Today, most Jews live in Israel and the USA, yet France and Britain
maintain vibrant Jewish populations, and Germany, once the
birthplace of Nazism, is Europe's fastest-growing community. With
over 250 illustrations, this is a fascinating history of one of the
world's most influential religions, forming a perfect study aid for
anyone with an interest in the story of the Jews.
