If you want to learn about jewish history from the period after the Inquisition to the uprise of Fascism, this is for you. This text contains detailed information displayed in a way that not only makes interesting reading, but also arouses empathy by couching it in an extended metaphor. The fluctuation of the Jewish peoples is compared to the gentle weaving and wandering of the beautiful River Danube, at the same time contrasting it to the behaviour of the various uninvited invaders and persecutors. Ray Zwerin adds to our reading experience by including his own personal observations and emotions while visiting the area where he can overlook the Danube.
