Trudi Alexy, 1927-2004, was also the author of The Mezuzah in the Madonna's Foot: Marranos and Other Secret Jews. Searching for her own Jewish identity, Alexy researched, wrote, and lectured on hidden Jews in many countries.
"A fascinating meld of some old religious histories and modern-day
mysteries."
"Some people are perplexed why hidden Jews are so secretive about
their identities. This book helps us to understand their reasons
and makes us aware of the emotional and psychological burdens
carried by those who live or have lived secret lives."
"The drama of "The Marrano Legacy" offers a human face and a
mournful soul to what is truly among the darker and sadder corners
of Jewish and Catholic histories. The book is deeply disturbing and
more than memorable."
