Dark Gold

Dark Gold

People have been forced again and again over time to deny their Jewish identity, hide their worldly goods – such as the medieval golden treasure of Erfurt. Laura is entranced by the mystery of the Jewish treasure. She delves into the fates of Rachel and Joschua, who left everything behind in 1349 and had to flee from the plague pogrom. And perhaps it is because of this story that she encounters Alexej, who would rather not admit that he is Jewish. Laura slowly begins to understand how many blunders can be made when falling in love with a Jew and what it means today to be Jewish.
A stirring novel full of truth about Jewish identity and anti-Semitism, love and hope by a masterful storyteller.
