Thanks Daphnee :-)
Hello again! It has been a while, but you may like to know that the article has been finished, and is now part of the collections of the Eureka...
Thanks -- indeed, the question of why the diamond trade is or has been dominated by Jews is interesting. I didn't have time to look into that much...
And I appreciate (and enjoy) you continuing to comment, and help me get this right.
You're right, I have to remove it. It belongs into a notebook, not the final paper. I got carried away there... :-/ No, ideas like this are very...
I have an updated version. I also include the section about the claims of Thonen's Jewish identity, because that has also been brought up. Once...
I'll see if I can find it on YouTube. You may also know the location of Schwabacher's and Birnstingl's office (8 Broad Street Buildings), which...
:) I like Ephraim Kishon. That's about all the Jewish humour I know. (I should stop bragging about my ignorance and start reading up on it.)...
I am attaching a first draft of my section about the jewellery and the diamond merchants. I have not yet proofread this (it has just been...

Isn't it? It has strong vibes of "Around the World in Eighty Days" -- including a brilliant detective. And the story went almost completely...
Here's the basic timeline: · 19 April: A package of diamonds valued £450 is sealed at the office of Schwabacher, Birnstingl & Co., where Thonen,...
Thonen was not the only Christian employed by them. But your assumption (that this was strange) may well be shared by others who were looking at...
To illustrate that he was not without conscience, here are some excerpts from the testimony. There's some impulsiveness here, but more of the kind...
Two completely different interpretations of the same basic facts. That's what I love history for. Any may be right, in the sense that his ideas...
I try but I can't feel sorry for that.;)
Thanks, also for the photo and link
I think that's a bit harsh. He didn't have children, but more on point, he tried to take the jewellery and escape to America, starting a new life....
