Great Historical Reading,

This review is from: Through the Sands of Time: A History of the Jewish Community of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands (Brandeis Series in American Jewish History, Culture and Life) (Hardcover)
Dr. Cohen presents a well-written account of the Jewish community of the Virgin Islands. I'm a direct descendent of Solomon Benjamin, a vessel merchant mentioned in the book and it was fascinating to learn more about my ancestry. Judaism generally is seen from a European-perspective. Since the Inquisition in 1492, many Jews found their way to the British West Indies, but little is written about their settlements, accomplishments and ways of life. This book shows a historical look at communities, both religious and economic.
