Summary: First time reviewer
Comment: I love to read reviews of books on amazon.com but this is the first time I am writing one. In response to the person in Colorado, I too an a Cuban Jew who grew up there before coming with my family to the US in 1961. I found the book to be sensitive, well-written, and compassionate. The photographs alone are worth the price of the book.

Summary: Brings back wonderful and not-so-wonderful memories
Comment: This book hits home. I am the son of Cuban Jews who came from Turkey to Cuba in 1911, faced hard times, finally did well enough, but then had to leave when Fidel took over. The book offers a poignant look at the misfortunes of the early arrivals and explains how they were treated.

Summary: This is a wonderful book
Comment: I'm surprised at the earlier reader's comments. This book, by an author who usually writes about Brazil but who is enormously informed about Cuba and Jewish history, offers a sensitive portrait of Jews who found refuge on Cuba only to be forced to leave to the US after Castro took over. It is very well written and very worth reading!
