Full Description
"A Historical Atlas of the Jewish People presents more than three
thousand years of the Jewish experience in a comprehensive and
accessible format." Virtually all of the key elements of Jewish history
and culture are examined: We explore the earliest pre-history and
background of the Bible: the movements of the Israelite tribes; the
revolts, wars, and religious developments. We see the growth and
maturation of the Jewish faith within the context of Middle Eastern
history. We observe the development of the Diaspora following the
cataclysm of exile, and the spread of Jews and Judaism not only into
Europe, Asia Minor, and North Africa, but as far away as China and
India. We are introduced to scholars and philosophers, scientists and
artists, writers and performers, statesmen and revolutionaries. We
witness the horrors of persecution: the Crusades, the Inquisitions, the
pogroms, and the Holocaust. We travel along with the millions of
immigrants to the "Golden Land" and watch as they and their
American-born children create new lives and a new culture. We are there
for the birth of political Zionism, the founding of the State of
Israel, and the saga of its survival.
