To mark the 134th anniversary of the birth of the great Hebrew writer Asher Barash on March 15, 1889, here is his most famous story "The last in Toledo", a story taking place during the time of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain at 1492. The story describes the fate of the last Jew who remained in the fanatical religious-racist Spain that hates the Jews.
But, of-course, it also has implications for later periods.
The story, originally published in Hebrew at 1940 during the time of Nazi persecution of the Jews in Europe, is also to any period when there is oppression of various groups by tyrannical religious and ideological establishments.
