From Library Journal
This most unusual travel guide will be of special interest to Jews and gentiles alike who have witnessed, survived, or otherwise been affected by the Holocaust. There are six countries covered: Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria. Historical accounts of pre-World War II thriving Jewish communities and cultures are followed by detailed descriptions and locations of remains of synagogues, homes, towns, cemeteries, and death camps. Rudimentary travel information on climate, transportation, language, kosher cuisine, and money is included, along with native phrases and lists of active Jewish communities. Look elsewhere for hotel, restaurant, and entertainment information. The book is intended for travelers intent on seeking out their pasts. This excellent, fascinating, and sobering guide is highly recommended for appropriate public and special library travel collections.
