The 4,000 Year Journey in Search of Peace by Danny Taran--Out of Stock

The story of the Jewish people covers almost 4,000 years of history. It chronicles triumphs, defeats, sadness, and joy, bound by religious belief and cultural traditions. Above all, it is a history to be proud of and to honour. Despite adversity and continued persecution, the Jewish people have not only survived but have thrived and continued to contribute to every field of human endeavor. In this book, their history has been recorded by artistic portrayals, ranging from the paintings of the great masters in European art to candid photographs from the nineteenth century to the present day. Drawing from sources in archives, museums, newspapers, and personal collections, Danny Taran has compiled a record of Jewish history, from biblical days, to life in the Diaspora, through pogroms and the horrors of the Holocaust, to modern times. After all, this book captures the spirit, the determination, and the achievements of a people who have struggled for survival and have succeeded."
