A later book, And it was Morning, dealt with the return of the Jews to their new home of Israel, following the horrors of their most recent European persecution. Now the writer has turned his attention to the least known part of Jewish history: the golden age of Jewish culture in Spain, with the interaction of Jewish, Muslim and Christian cultures, the horrors of the Inquisition and the final banishment of the race from the Iberian peninsula. The Jews had lived in Spain from time immemorial and in the Middle Ages there were large numbers of them in most Spanish cities: and though it is true that Moors and Christians forged between them the destiny of Spain and consequently laid the foundation of the modern world, the achievements of the Spanish Jews were no less splendid. There were financiers and statesmen, poets and musicians, and they were honoured by the rulers of the great cities of Cordoba, Seville, Granada, Toledo, to name but a few. This history ended abruptly: they were persecuted abominably, tortured, burned, imprisoned, dispossessed, and the survivors driven out unmercifully and brutally, and scattered over many countries. Poul Borchsenius has here told their whole story and provides a fascinating record of their literature and art.…
