DR. AVIDGDOR SHACHAN, educator, author and historian, is a specialist in studies of the Holocaust and of Jewish Martyrs and Heroes. Dr. Shachan has served as the Supervisor of Colleges for Israel’s Ministry of Education and Culture, a post he held for twenty years. Dr. Shachan has been the recipient of a myriad of awards, including the prestigious Jabotinsky Prize. In order to carry out his research, he traveled widely for four years to distant countries of central Asia. He examined hidden scrolls, studied the concealed references of crumbling maps, and perused original translated manuscripts of the chroniclers of the history of the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Jews, Britons, Chinese and Japanese. He studied the testimonies of tourists, adventurers, warriors and missionaries to follow their tracks and in doing so uncovered astonishing and wondrous facts. Dr. Shachan published his findings in the acclaimed Hebrew text ＂Towards the Sambatyon River- a Journey in the footsteps of the Ten Tribes＂. This is the English version.
