Opis
“Lost Synagogues of Europe is a remarkable contribution to a variety of disciplines. It offers a virtual tour across European Jewish communities, with equal attention paid to art, architecture, the Gentile authorities’ stance toward its Jews, and the changing historical context, from Roman times till the first decade of the new millennium. Andrea Strongwater tells a painful story of Jewish communal focal points targeted for destruction primarily by Nazi Germany, but also by its Soviet ideological rivals. It leaves us hopeful that as we show a new generation the beauty of what was lost, the Nazi effort to make Europe Judenrein can somehow, to some extent, be undone.”—Shay Pilnik, director of the Emil A. and Jenny Fish Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Yeshiva University
“Andrea Strongwater’s paintings of European synagogues destroyed in the Holocaust allow us to connect emotionally with them—and, in that sense, bring them back to life for us. Her concomitant history of these synagogues broadens our understanding of these homes of Jewish living and thereby serves as new, important testimony to Jewish life lost in the flames of the Shoah.”—Vladimir Levin, director of the Center for Jewish Art at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
“This is a must-read book. Andrea Strongwater’s remarkable paintings and meticulously researched histories honor and help bring back to life lost Jewish communities in Europe, especially during World War II. Her dedication, evident in every detail, has earned her well-deserved accolades. I highly recommend Lost Synagogues of Europe for everyone interested in Jewish history and preserving Jewish memory.”—Rabbi Justin Schwartz, Jewish educator at Temple Beth Abraham, in Tarrytown, New York
