Lutz van Dijk & Renate Schlicht

Jewish Lives - Reports from 4,000 years

From Abraham’s time to the present day

Lutz van Dijk takes young readers on a journey through 4000 years of Jewish history. Clearly structured, calmly narrated and packed with stories of special people looking for ways to lead a happy life in harmony with their faith – this compact work provides a lively and easy-to-understand introduction to the diversity of Jewish culture.

Beginning with the wars of the ancient Israeli tribes against the Philistines, the pogroms at the time of the Crusades, Zionism, the Holocaust and the founding of the State of Israel, the book leads us right up to the present day and the question of what it means to live as a person of Jewish faith in today’s Germany.

In light of current events in the Middle East, the author has updated and expanded his long-standing successful work for this new edition.
