Travel Guide to Jewish Europe, A: Third Edition
Frank, an extensive world traveler and authority on European Jewish travel, combines the elements of two genres, history and travel, into one neat package. The result is an informative historical account, past and present, of Jewish cultures and communities in Great Britain and western European countries, accompanied by lists of kosher restaurants, synagogues, schools, hotels, museums and other sites of former and present Jewish life. Destruction and migration of European Jewry did not begin and end during World War II. It has been ongoing for centuries. Much light is shed on this as well as on the numerous lasting contributions of European Jews to society. Much broader in scope and geographic territory than Ruth Gruber's Jewish Heritage Travel (3/15/92), which emphasizes eastern European countries and the Holocaust, this is recommended for general travel collections.- Ann E.
