2006 · Sarajevo
by Schwartz, Stephen
Sarajevo: Tugra, 2006. 305p., Bosnian language, very good paperback. Bosnian translation of Schwartz's "Sarajevo Rose: a Balkan Jewish notebook." The original work's dustjacket blurb began: "Tracing the path of the Sephardic Jews to the Balkans - following their expulsion from Spain during the Inquisition - Schwartz draws on place names, historical chronicles, epitaphs, folk ballads, banned books and the media. He examines both the travails and remarkable cultural achievements of these communities which, hundreds of years after the trauma of forced exile, were almost entirely destroyed in the Holocaust.
