Roth consulted some records but apparently failed to understand the explicit meaning of forced conversion. This work is an example of failing to use the whole record for an accurate conclusion. There are many inquistion records, especially in the New World, of Jews clinging to the faith of their fathers and dying in inquisitional flames as a result. Also, the Amsterdam Jewish community was established by Crypto-Jews this author contends didn't exist. This blatant failure to get the facts right leads one to believe that Roth either has a hidden motive or is incompetent beyond belief.
