The Diaspora Story is Joan Comay's colourful, scholarly and wide-ranging account of the fluctuating fortunes of the Jewish people throughout the last nineteen centuries of their dispersion (Diaspora). It is an intensely human story of tragedy and triumph, of inexpressible suffering and elated joy. In the countries in which the Jews settled, they were a minority, subject to the whims of the rulers and the populace. In times of crisis, they became the victims of mass slaughter. In periods of relative calm, they poured their gifts into the surrounding societies, many gaining renown in economic and political life, arts, and sciences. But they always clung to their faith and their traditions and never forgot their roots The concept and illustrations are based on the permanent exhibits in the Beth-Hatefutsoth -Nahum Goldman Museum of the Jewish Diaspora in Tel Aviv.
