Dear Safranim Please note our new publication.
C.M. Kösemen, *Memories and Stories of Bodrum's Jewish Community*, Libra Kitap, İstanbul, 2019, 195 p., ISBN: 9786057884176 Some may know Bodrum as a pleasant vacation spot in Southwestern Turkey. Few, however, would know this town as the home of a small but influential Jewish community that thrived until the mid-20th century. In this book, artist and researcher C. M. Kösemen uses historic sources and interviews to flesh out the first comprehensive overview of this little-known Sephardic community. Here you will find compelling stories and poignant memories; of ancient Jewish settlements in the remote corners of the Bodrum peninsula; of pleasant family relations between Turks and Jews; of wartime hardships and near-escapes; of people like Janet Akyüz Mattei, who went on to become one of the world’s greatest astrophysicists; of Abraham Galante the historian; and more… Illustrated with detailed black-and-white photographs and annotated with footnotes that explain local nuances, this book also contains a touristic itinerary of Judaic sites in the vicinity of Bodrum. Price: $ 30.- Postage: $ 15.- Payment by credit card. If interested please contact us. Sincerely, --- Rifat Bali Libra Kitap Istanbul, Turkey Tel : 90 - 212 - 232 99 04 / 05 Fax: 90 - 212 - 231 11 29
