The pope's Jews
This is the almost forgotten story of a small community which lived through all the great tragic dramas of European history from the rise and fall of the Roman Empire to the decline and death of the Fascist dictators. The author has done much original research to reconstruct a history which in its human scope is almost a parable of European civilization. Here is a tale of poverty and pestilence, of human fortitude seasoned at times with Jewish wit and Christian charity. It is a vast dramatic panorama of floods and catastrophes, riots and murder, theological intrigue and political expediency and through it all the growth of a community of destiny.
