The Story of the Jews: Finding the Words 1000 BC-1492 AD

In this cultural history – the tie-in to the PBS and BBC series “The Story of the Jews” – Simon Schama details the story of the Jewish people, tracing their experience across three millennia, from their beginnings as an ancient tribal people to the opening of the new world in 1492 to the modern day. 

It is a story like no other: an epic of endurance in the face of destruction, of creativity in the face of oppression, joy amidst grief, the affirmation of life despite the steepest of odds.
