A bord d'une frégate française, le 7 septembre 1654, 23 réfugiés juifs débarquèrent sur l'île de Manhattan pour fonder la communauté américaine, aujourd'hui la deuxième plus grande au monde après Israël. Le débarquement symbolise la fin d'une saga qui a commencé par l'expulsion décrétée par les rois catholiques d'Espagne en 1492. L'épopée juive raconte l'histoire d'un peuple qui ne s'est pas laissé vaincre par l'adversité. Une histoire de foi, de lutte et de dépassement.

The Jews were drastically expelled from Spain by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile. In Portugal, the king deported 2,000 Jewish children to colonize the island of Santo Tomé, in Africa, and also decreed forced conversion to Christianity. The aim was to erase the traditions of a people. .The persecution grew even more in 1536, when the Inquisition arrived in Portugal. Many Jews died at the stake, others had their property confiscated. However, the community of Amsterdam was an oasis of freedom. In 1630, Jewish merchants accompanied the Dutch in the occupation of Pernambuco, in Brazil. In Recife, they built a beautiful community, but the inquisition returned 24 years later. In the flight, 23 refugees disembarked in New Amsterdam, now New York City. They founded the bases of the United States community. Some of their descendants are among the founders of Wall Street Exchange, Columbia University and Mount Sinai Hospital.1492 - Jewish Bravehood is a history of faith, struggle and of overcoming.
Now thirteen years into its making, Harvy Simkovits's enthralling memoir series Just Lassen to Me! continues into its second volume. It's a furtherance of the true, enthralling family and family business tale behind the big businessman, Johnny Simkovits, and his disaffected wife and feuding adult sons. Book Two: Survivor Teachings takes a deeper dive into the makings of Johnny, how he built his business and amassed his fortune. Johnny gets caught by the taxman for creative but illicit accounting practices, but survives to scheme another day. His second son, Harvy, tries to separate himself from his dad's dubious dealings, but continues to be pulled back into his father's finagling and family's feuding. Can Harvy reconcile, repudiate, and rectify his mom's painful burdens and patriarch's illegitimate legacy? Written with honesty, humor, and humility, this is a continuation of a first-generation son's story of surviving his turbulent family and survivor father.
