"The aim of this book is to bring to life the history of the Jews in the Netherlands the hub of world Jewry in the seventeenth century and the cradle of burgeoning Jewish communities in London New York and Curacao. The book has more than eleven hundred reproductions of original works of art documents and photographs. They form the basis of a reconstruction that owes little to the preconceptions of subsequent generations. Similarly the explanatory text is largely culled from contemporary sources to provide detailed and revealing glimpses of contacts between Jew and Gentile and between Jew and Jew." Publisher.
