Synopsis of Heritage: Civilization and the Jews, Part 4 - The Crucible of Europe
The Jewish people have one of the oldest and richest civilizations in the world, with over 5,000 years of history and traditions. This nine-volume documentary chronicles the story of the Jews, from the birth of a people in the Middle East's cradle of civilization through the creation of the state of Israel in 1947. Archival film footage and photographs, art and artifacts, journals and personal accounts, and commentary by scholars provide the particulars about a people that have long been persecuted, and yet have given so much to world culture. This fourth volume in the series examines developments in Jewish culture during the Middle Ages, between 732 and 1492. The fate and fortune of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam were intertwined in the crucible of civilization in Europe. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
