Jewish Guide Books?
 

Looking for guide books that highlight the history of jews in Spain??

I dont know of any first hand but did a search on bn.com and found 'Jewish Time-Travel: A Travel Narrative and Guide to Jewish Historic Sites in Europe and Israel' by Mae E. Sander. It included Spain, Italy, France and Israel.<BR>

This isn't exactly what you're looking for but it's still a great book: &quot;Europe's Jewish Quarters&quot; by Matthew Reisz<BR><BR>The chapters are about the Jewish Quarters in various European cities and, as I recall, there's one on Toledo, and perhaps one other city in Spain. Reisz does go into a fair amount of history in each chapter.

laurai,<BR>This isn't a tourist guide book, but it is a truly wonderful book first recommended by John S. here on the forum-&quot;The Mezuzah in the Madonna's Foot-Marranos and Other Secret Jews&quot; by Trudi Alexy. <BR>It's a fascinating read of first hand accounts of survivors who found aslylum during WWII in Spain- the &quot;secret&quot; Jews of the Franco regime. I was so glad that John shared it with us.

Thank you! I just found 2 recomondations at local bookstore. This will really add to our trip to Seville &amp; Cordova, Thanks again!
