Beowulf by Nicky Raven
This collection of historical studies deals with the connections between the history and culture of the Jews of Holland from the beginning of the seventeenth century until the period after the Holocaust, and phenomena and processes that distinguish all of Jewish history in the modern period. The Jews of Holland were not only nourished by the cultural creativity of the great Jewish centers in the modern period but at various stages they served as a source of inspiration for Jews elsewhere in the Diaspora. The articles of this volume are distinguished not only by the examination of the influence of general Jewish history on that of the Jews of Holland but also by focusing on events and processes in modern Jewish history that show the significant influence of the history of Dutch Jewry.
