Why Did the Leave? Where Did They Go?

A Personal Tour of Jewish Sites and the Discovery of Hidden Uncomfortable Truths

Beschreibung

Having visited sites throughout much of the world that used the remnants of their Jewish past to encourage tourism, my wife Ronnie and I often found that these sites no longer had a Jewish presence. The questions: "Why did they leave?" and "Where did they go?" were seldom addressed in the descriptive literature, or by tour guides. Through our travels, personal history, and an examination of the historic record, this book attempts to answer those two questions.

Autor

The author's life-long interest in travel, history and geography began at age ten with a hobby, stamp collecting, whose representation of exotic and far away countries piqued his interest in learning more about the world. At age sixteen the author spent six weeks driving throughout much of the USA and Mexico. Since then, he and his wife, Ronnie, have traveled extensively, visiting each of the continents and numerous countries during the past fifty years. The author is a Licensed Professional Engineers with degrees from Rutgers University and The Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was Chairman of Yates Restoration Group, a New York City contractor, as well as President of the New York Sheet Metal and Roofing Crafts Institute, and a long term trustee of a Teamster Pension Fund. He is the father of two and the grandfather of four to whom this book is dedicated.
