Description: Ahoy Vey! Enjoy a Caribbean dinner and hear the fascinating history of Jewish merchants and adventures who escaped the Spanish Inquisitions at the dawn of the age of exploration. Assuming new identities in the New World, they became aligned with enemies of the Spanish in the Caribbean and lived off plunder, which helped break the Spanish empire and the evil Inquisition it spread around the world.

Author Edward Kritzler, a historian and former USA today reporter who lives in Jamaica, has produced a breezy historical tale of swashbuckling exploits, with a journalist's eye for detail.
