RE: [Cz-L] Our Origins

Dear Hardy,

I can't remember when or who, but I was told many years ago that Arthur
Koestler, the German historian, asserted that back in the mists of time many
native people converted to Judaism when Jews migrated to their regions.

Sepharadi skin:
  When the Jews left Palestine all had swarthy skin something like the
Bedouins of today - desert people.
  I would rather wonder at the pink Ashkenazi skin which is a Nordic
   feature coming from the Nibelungen saga.
     I have a brownish skin and when young was nicknamed Tzigan.
   Which means Gipsy who are the best flamenco dancers in Spain.
