This is a readable, interesting account of the events that led to the expulsion of the Jews from Spain. Although listed in the juvenile literature section, it is a mature and fascinating text.

This book accurately portrays the other 1492, not the discovery of America, but the persecution of the Jewish people of Spain. Finkelstein intellegently lays out the facts of the historical events of the time in a way which both young readers and adults can comprehend. The book was mentioned in the New York Times book review several years ago and is a must read for any history buff.

This is book is an excellent book for anyone interested in receiving an in-depth introduction to American Jewish History. Finkelstein utilizes his anecdotes in a fashion that allows the reader to understand the significance of major events in the lives of average American Jews. The book illustrates American Jewish life from the good through the bad.

An excellent read for anyone wanting to know about key, unknown events.

I used this in my junior high school class on Social Studies, and the kids were all impressed on how two very different ethnic groups worked together during a difficult but important chapter of American social history. I recommend this to all teachers!

The book, Remember Not to Forget, recounts the horror of the Holocaust in words children can understand. This story begins when a German man is visiting Jerusalem, Israel, for the feast of Passover. He enters a souvenir store, looking for something to buy in remembrance of his trip. The man decides to buy a Jewish candelabra. As the shopkeeper reaches to hand him the candelabra, the man notices a set of number tattooed on the shopkeeper's arm - numbers from a concentration camp. The story continues with the history of anti-Semitism and the story of the Holocaust. It ends with a description of the Yad Vashem, a national institution in Israel established to study and research the Holocaust. I highly recommend this book to both children and adults seeking information on the holocaust.

This picture book covers the history of the Jewish people fromAbraham to the rebirth of Israel in 1948. It speaks of the holocaustand Yom Hashua (Holocaust Rememberance Day). Good overview and uplifting ending with the triumphan rebirth of the Jewish Nation and return of many Jews to their homeland.

as a 30 minute read you'll get an overview of one of the most impressive leaders of the 20th century but you'll be left wanting to know more. the writing style feels heavily edited and the book leaves you with more questions than it answers. in fact for an overview you'd be better off watching gregory peck in the movie of macarthur. if you're a high school student and you need a quick read then this might be useful, but if you want to understand what drove mac arthur, why he did what he did, and get under the skin of this man - look elsewhere.

I thought that this book was very good but not very long and had few details lacking thouroghness . This book was a book that got it's point across very well with few words some people expect different things in a good book (there deffenition of a good book is different)some people like long books some people like short books but overall I think a good book can be the smae and different at the same time and thats how this book was and I recomend it to any action loving kid like me
