The Remembered and Forgotten Jewish World

"Daniel Walkowitz takes us on a set of journeys, which eloquently connect tourism, family, migration, and the constant remaking of Jewish history through lived life." -- Hasia R. Diner * Paul S. and Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History, New York University *
"A Jewish heritage tour guide like no other, Walkowitz journeys into places hidden by time and all-too-familiar narratives to open possibilities for thinking, writing and remembering a diverse, often paradoxical and always richly complex Jewish past." -- Alisse Waterston * author of My Father's Wars: Migration, Memory, and the Violence of a Century *
"Intimately personal and universal. Passionate in argument and crystal clear in analysis. This is the best history, memory and heritage studies offers. And the best book on Jewish heritage tourism I have ever read." -- Marcin Wodzinski * professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Wroclaw in Poland *
"Recommended." * Choice *
"Why Don't American Jews Search for their Heritage in New York City?" by Daniel J. Walkowitz * Zocalo Public Square *
"Does focus on Holocaust tourism dim the memory of vibrant prewar Jewish life?" by J.P. O'Malley * Times of Israel *
"[The book] makes a significant contribution insofar as it challenges, to return to my opening remarks, the long-standing, lachrymose approach to the study of Jewish history--and not just of Jewish history but of history itself....Walkowitz has written a stimulating book that will be of interest to historians in memory, museum, and Jewish studies." * American Historical Review *
