- The Classic History Of The Jewish People, From The Eighteenth Century to The Present Day. This new edition casts additional light on the milestones of the Jewish saga from the ghetto and into the heart of Western society, the debate between the the voices of tradition, assimilation, and Zionism, virtual destruction during the Holocaust; and troubled rebirth in Israel.
