Abstract:
This volume examines the visual revolution that has overtaken Jewish cultural life from the 20th century onwards, with special attention given to the evolution of Jewish museums. The book treats various forms of Jewish representation in museums in Europe and the United States before the Second World War and inquires into the nature and proliferation of Jewish museums following the Holocaust and the fall of communism in Western and Eastern Europe.
