About this Item

Dust jacket. The rescue of persecuted Hews by more privileged Hews elsewhere has changed over the pat two centuries. Until the mid-19th century, religiously inspired Jewish leaders effected rescue to fulfil religious injunctions to redeem the captives, more recent efforts were taken by secular Jewish organisations and by the State of Israel. The exodus of Jews to Israel from the Soviet Union and from Ethiopia is notable. But essays here also cover the situations in Tsarist Russia, Nazi-occupied Europe, 19th century North African Jews and Jews in Arab countries after WW II. 424 pages. Quoted postage for UK 2nd class. Overseas at least £14.90.
