About the book
About You shall know our names
When Ezekiel Nieto Benzion's grandfather handed him the journals written by Dr. Judah Halevi, he pleaded, "Before I die, tell me about the men in these books. For 200 years, our family in the old country kept the stories safe. I want to know why." The writer of the journals, Judah Halevi, was a doctor, an engineer, a musician, and a family man, who lived in Bohemia during the Napoleonic Wars. But that was all he chose to say openly. Everything else he buried in codes and puzzles. Then, after years of writing, he hid the journals, hoping that someday the truth would be told. What is the truth? Who was he really? What was the terror that he said "jabbed its bony finger into my heart?" What deeds "stained my soul with blood?" And who was the Hawk who led him both into danger and out of his own terrors? You Shall Know Our Names is the first tale from the Judah Halevi journals. Guided by Judah Halevi's clues, Ezekiel Nieto Benzion traced the tales from an old cemetery in Prague to its glory on a Bohemian farm. By the journey's end, two men separated by two centuries become connected by name, heritage and their dream of a better future.
