"Daniel Walkowitz takes us on a set of journeys, which eloquently connect tourism, family, migration, and the constant remaking of Jewish history through lived life." - Hasia R. Diner (Paul S. and Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History, New York University) "A Jewish heritage tour guide like no other, Walkowitz journeys into places hidden by time and all-too-familiar narratives to open possibilities for thinking, writing and remembering a diverse, often paradoxical and always richly complex Jewish past." - Alisse Waterston (author of My Father's Wars: Migration, Memory, and the Violence of a Century) "Intimately personal and universal. Passionate in argument and crystal clear in analysis. This is the best history, memory and heritage studies offers. And the best book on Jewish heritage tourism I have ever read." - Marcin Wodzinski (professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Wroclaw in Poland) "Recommended." (Choice) "Why Don't American Jews Search for their Heritage in New York City?" by Daniel J. Walkowitz (Zócalo Public Square) "Does focus on Holocaust tourism dim the memory of vibrant prewar Jewish life?" by J.P. O'Malley (Times of Israel) "[The book] makes a significant contribution insofar as it challenges, to return to my opening remarks, the long-standing, lachrymose approach to the study of Jewish history––and not just of Jewish history but of history itself....Walkowitz has written a stimulating book that will be of interest to historians in memory, museum, and Jewish studies."  (American Historical Review)
