Description
The Last Jew by Noah Gordon In 1492, the Inquisition's grip on Spain tightened, and the Jews were forced to flee. Yonah Toledano, a 15-year-old silversmith's son, was determined to honor his family's memory by remaining a Jew, despite the danger and uncertainty that surrounded him. Trapped in Spain, Yonah's decision was motivated by a desire to hold on to his heritage, even in the face of overwhelming persecution. As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, Yonah's resolve was tested by the harsh realities of his situation. This powerful and moving novel explores the complexities of identity, faith, and survival in a time of great turmoil.
