DANIEL J. WALKOWITZ is emeritus professor of history and of social and cultural analysis at New York University.  An influential labor and urban historian, his many books include City Folk: English Country Dance and the Politics of the Folk in America.
 

Part travelogue, part social history, and part family saga, this book investigates the politics of heritage tourism and collective memory. Acclaimed historian Daniel J. Walkowitz visits key Jewish heritage sites from Berlin to Belgrade to Warsaw to New York to discover which stories of the Jewish experience get told and which get silenced.
