Among the articles:
-- In "An unfulfilled dream - The saga of Anusim families." Raphael Benghiat traces the history of the previous owners of Montfavier castle in the Gironde, France. It likely belonged to Jews of the Bordeaux and Bayonne area, where many New Christians (Conversos, Anousim) settled.
-- Laurence Abensur-Hazan explores the 1841 fire which partially destroyed Smyrna, Turkey. The Jewish residents were the ones most affected by this catastrophe.
-- There's also a book review of the recently published "Tanger, entre Orient et Occident." The Jews of Tangier (Morocco) were never required to live in a specific geographic area. The book details many aspects of this community, such as Jewish businesses, the city's first Freemason society, and provides information on the Fuente Nueva quarter where many Jews lived.
