Last Century of a Sephardic Community
The Jews of Monastir, 1839-1943.
by Mark Cohen

Published by the Foundation for the Advancement of Sephardic Studies and Culture

The story of the Monastir Jews told in Last Century has never been told before. It is based on original research into a dozen archives in North America, Europe, and Israel.

Archives consulted include those at the Alliance Israélite Universelle (Paris), Public Record Office (London), Central Zionist Archives (Israel), United Church Archives (Canada), and Joint Distribution Committee (New York).

"This lovely book provides a welcome glimpse into a world
once vibrant and now tragically lost."
-- Dr. Sarah Abrevaya Stein, University of Washington
