Words matter because they are what history is made ofBy KGRemarkable information about the creation of history in general and French Jewish history in particular. original documents reveal and preserve precious information. facts replace silent ignorance. The long history of Jews in France is not common knowledge. The efforts of one flawed man to save this information and make it public are brilliantly revealed in this book.I recommend this book to all Jews ; to people interested in how history is written and to folks who can see a person in many shades of gray and not simply in stark contrasts.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful.
