TNS Book Club Announcement
Dear TNS Book Club followers:
I have always suggested that Columbus must have been Jewish.
Recent (2012) studies prove without a doubt he was a Marrano, hiding his Jewish identity by presenting as a Catholic. The article below details thestudies' conclusions.
There is more than a coincidence in the events of 1492, namely the expulsion of Jews from Spain and the sailing of Columbus.
Now we can learn more about the escape of Jews from Spain to the New World in a fascinating work, Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean, by Edward Kritzler. Its available on Kindle for $5.38 or used from $2.55. Short read and lots of fascinating explanations of how Jews came to New York, Amsterdam, England and parts of the Caribbean. It has a very little about pirates and very much about Jewish escape from Spain to the New World.
Let's try for Wednesday October 25at TNS at 6:00 for our next TNS Book Club meeting.
