Description

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Jewish socialist movement played a vital role in protecting workers’ rights throughout Europe and the Americas.

Yet few traces of this movement or its accomplishments have been preserved or memorialized in Jewish heritage sites.  The Remembered and Forgotten Jewish World investigates the politics of heritage tourism and collective memory.

In an account that is part travelogue, part social history, and part family saga, acclaimed historian Daniel J.

Walkowitz visits key Jewish museums and heritage sites from Berlin to Belgrade, from Krakow to Kiev, and from Warsaw to New York, to discover which stories of the Jewish experience are told and which are silenced.

As he travels to thirteen different locations, participates in tours, displays, and public programs, and gleans insight from local historians, he juxtaposes the historical record with the stories presented in heritage tourism.  What he finds raises provocative questions about the heritage tourism industry and its role in determining how we perceive Jewish history and identity.

This book offers a unique perspective on the importance of collective memory and the dangers of collective forgetting.
