This is a well-researched, clear explanation of the treatment of Jews in Spain and Portugal through the centuries. No wonder the Jews decided they needed a homeland of their own. This is sobering reading. Looking at the other two major religions, Islam was less problematic than Christianity because Islam accepted that Jews were "of the book." It seemed that no matter where the Jews moved, some wanted to eradicate them. This is a sad commentary on the state of religions through the centuries.
