Abstract:
This is an illustrated travelogue, complete with a condensed family tree, photographs, ephemera and news clippings. Through these materials, Peter C. Hereld discusses the role and relevance the Jewish religion had on his life. The various synagogues Hereld attended while living in different cities are also discussed. Community bulletins, news articles and photographs of services accompany the descriptions of synagogues. In addition to histories of the cities of Ahlem and Auschwitz, Hereld includes histories of the Wolfes and Schusters families, and a section on Rabbis of influence in his life.
