Review of Jeffrey Shandler's Homes of the Past: A Lost Jewish Museum

Through Homes of the Past, Shan­dler not only revis­its a neglect­ed episode in Jew­ish his­to­ry but also offers a pro­found med­i­ta­tion on the ways soci­eties pre­serve, con­struct, and rein­vent their pasts. His work will con­tribute to future dis­cus­sions on Jew­ish muse­ol­o­gy, his­tor­i­cal mem­o­ry, and the evolv­ing iden­ti­ties of Yid­dish-speak­ing Amer­i­can Jewry.
