Frank, author, journalist, and travel writer, is considered one of this country’s most distinguished travel writers, as well as commentators on Jewish communities around the world. At last count, he has traveled to 89 countries and written about each of these nations, including cities such as London, Paris, and Rome, as well as Mumbai, Yangon and Ho Chi Minh City. Frank is a travel writer for The Jerusalem Post. For years, readers of the Jerusalem Post have been delighted to read Ben Frank's historic, entertaining, and richly written travel articles about the Jewish features of European cities. Frank deftly combines the practical, the anecdotal, and the historical context into a spellbinding and informative read. This is the original edition and as such presents a portrait of Jewish Europe at the end of the 20th Century, not all that far removed from the effects of the Holocaust and still able to provide a baseline to document and illuminate the changes that have occurred in the decades since this was first published. This Travel Guide will introduce the reader to areas that survived the devastating effects of the War. This book is a compendium of practical travel information, intriguing stories, and fascinating inquiries into Jewish contributions to European History. More
