Historia Żydów Odcinek 1: The Beginning

Simon Schama explores how a distinct Jewish identity began to emerge more than 3,000 years ago. Drawing on a rich store of archaeological and historical sources, and accompanied by vivid location photography in Israel, Egypt and Jordan, Simon Schama traces the slow crystallisation of a people whose radical notion of a singular, faceless formless God found unforgettable expression in an equally radical artefact: the Hebrew Bible.
