Persecution Of The Jews At Damascus (1840) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120017802)

Persecution Of The Jews At Damascus (1840) is a historical account written by George Wildon Pieritz that describes the events of the Damascus Affair, a series of violent attacks against the Jewish community in Damascus, Syria in 1840. The book provides a detailed description of the events leading up to the attacks, including the disappearance of a Christian monk and the subsequent false accusation of Jewish ritual murder. Pieritz also details the brutal treatment of the Jewish community by the local authorities and the subsequent international response, including the involvement of European powers and the intervention of the Ottoman Empire. The book serves as a valuable historical document, shedding light on the experiences of the Jewish community in the Middle East during the 19th century and the challenges they faced in the face of persecution and discrimination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
