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.  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e List of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Note on Text\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Prelude\u003cbr\u003e  \u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Jewish Heritage Tourism Business\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Interlude\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Part I:  Looking for Bubbe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e        2.
