Very well done history of Jewish life in the Venice Ghetto.

This is a strong and highly detailed account of the Jewish population in the Venice ghetto from the beginnings around 1000A.D. to after World War11.Highly informative of all facets of Jewish life, including social, religious, economic and political interaction both from within the community and from external forces of the Venetian politcal and social aristocreacy and government.Interspersed with actual accounts of various families and people, enables it to breathe life into the story. Must read for anyone with interest in history.
