I first met author Samy Yecutieli several years ago in Israel and learned about his ancestors' journey. After five years of research, the book, written with Raquel Markus, has been published:
Una historia, dos países: la saga de la familia Yecutieli
(One history, two countries: The story of the Yecutieli family)
The story of Samuel and Simja Yecutieli is an intimate retelling of the memory, development and traditions of the Jewish community.
Readers will acquire historical and geographical knowledge and understand the world of Jewish genealogy across national and historic borders. The authors also hope readers may be encouraged to discover their own family stories.
To see an excellent film clip about the book (so far only available in Spanish), click on Roots Television here.
There will be two book launches in Israel at Jerusalem's Hebrew University (late December) and at Tel Aviv University (early January). I am planning to interview Samy about the book and his family as well. Stay tuned for more information.
