"The range of approaches and the sheer breadth of spaces and texts treated here-synagogues and cemeteries, German landscapes, Freud and his reception, philanthropy, urban ghettos, photography, and museums-provide a compelling and rich window into Jewish spaces in their historical context." * Barbara Mann, Jewish Theological Seminary of America
