From An Acclaimed Historian, The Definitive Story Of The Venetian Ghetto And The Emergence Of Modern Antisemitism.More Than A History Of A City, The Book Is A Chronicle Of A Condition, An Elegy For Jewish Life Lived In The Paradox Of Family Flourishing And Civic Exclusion .... A Richly Researched History Of Italian Jewry And Its Will To Live On. Kirkus Reviewsin The Early Sixteenth Century, Amidst The Ruins Of War And Mounting Religious Hatred, The WorldS First Jewish Ghetto Was Established In Venice. Constrained In Cramped, Often Unsanitary Conditions, The Jews Who Were Forced To Live There Were Extorted, Abused, And Subjected To Countless Humiliating Restrictions. In The Centuries That Followed, The Venetian Ghetto Would Become The Prototype For Ghettos Throughout EuropeAnd Pave The Way For Modern Antisemitism.But This Is Also A Tale Of Hope. Against The Odds, The GhettoS Residents Thrived, Creating A Vibrant Literary, Musical, And Religious Community. They Became Essential To The Survival Of Venice ItselfAnd As More Jewish Refugees Arrived, The Ghetto Became A Microcosm Of The Jewish World.Tracing Its Story From Its Medieval Origins To The Present Day, Historian Alexander Lee Explores The Ghetto Through The Eyes Of Its Jewish Inhabitants, From The Domestic Troubles Of A SeventeenthCentury Rabbi To The Agonizing Wait Of A Family Bound For Auschwitz.Authoritative, Detailed, And Timely, This Definitive History Shows What Happens When War And Economics Collide With HatredAnd Also Offers A Powerful Warning For The Future.
