After the Holocaust, the empty, silent spaces of bombed-out synagogues, cemeteries, and Jewish districts were all that was left in many German and Polish cities with prewar histories rich in the sights and sounds of Jewish life. What happened to this scarred landscape after the war, and how have Germans, Poles, and Jews encountered these ruins over the past sixty years? In the postwar period, city officials swept away many sites, despite protests from Jewish leaders. But in the late 1970's church groups, local residents, political dissidents, and tourists demanded the preservation of the few ruins still standing. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989, this desire to preserve and restore has grown stronger. In one of the most striking and little-studied shifts in postwar European history, the traces of a long-neglected Jewish past have gradually been recovered, thanks to the rise of heritage tourism, nostalgia for ruins, international discussions about the Holocaust, and a pervasive longing for cosmopolitanism in a globalizing world. Examining this transformation from both sides of the Iron Curtain, Michael Meng finds no divided memory along West-East lines, but rather a shared memory of tensions and paradoxes that crosses borders throughout Central Europe. His narrative reveals the changing dynamics of the local and the transnational, as Germans, Poles, Americans, and Israelis confront a built environment that is inevitably altered with the passage of time. Shattered Spaces exemplifies urban history at its best, uncovering a surprising and moving postwar story of broad contemporary interest.

"First, this book can be marketed through the TESOL organizations. The TESOL has one of the largest memberships with over 12,000 members representing 156 countries (TESOL Brochure, 2017). Beyond TESOL International, many regional and local TESOL organizations are affiliated with TESOL. For example, SETESOL stands for the Southeastern Regional TESOL and the Carolina TESOL is in South/North Carolina. Marketing can be done through the websites of these organizations or at their annual conferences. We have the ESOL coordinators in several school districts who are closely related to the TESOL International and the local TESOL to help with the book marketing. Second, this book can be marketed through other professional conferences. More national, international, regional and local conferences have begun to pay attention to teaching ELLs. For example, the AERA annual meetings have SIG Divisions on educating ELLs. The ATE and NAME Annual Conferences have also added the topics related to teaching ELLs in recent years. This book can be marketed at these annual meetings/conferences through their book exhibit. (Note: AERA stands for American Educational Research Association that has also one of the large members in the nation and the world. ATE stands for Association for Teacher Educators; NAME stands for National Association for Multicultural Education). Third, this book can be purchased as reading text materials by college students in teacher education and training programs. There are many federal and state funding projects that have the budget for purchasing training materials. In addition, school districts can purchase the book for their in-service teachers. Through the grant programs, we also have the contact with the key personnel in the four target school districts (e.g., ESOL curriculum program coordinators) and we can encourage them to market the book through our good relation; the ESOL teachers and school personnel can recommend the books for further adoption in other K-12 classroom teachers since South Carolina has the highest increase in the ELL population and every teacher need to know how to teach ELLs"--

In a time of national introspection regarding the country's involvement in the persecution of Jews, Poland has begun to reimagine spaces of and for Jewishness in the Polish landscape, not as a form of nostalgia but as a way to encourage the pluralization of contemporary society. The essays in this book explore issues of the restoration, restitution, memorializing, and tourism that have brought present inhabitants into contact with initiatives to revive Jewish sites. They reveal that an emergent Jewish presence in both urban and rural landscapes exists in conflict and collaboration with other remembered minorities, engaging in complex negotiations with local, regional, national, and international groups and interests. With its emphasis on spaces and built environments, this volume illuminates the role of the material world in the complex encounter with the Jewish past in contemporary Poland.

"Bringing together incisive contributions from an international group of colleagues and former students, Modern Germany in Transatlantic Perspective takes stock of the field of German history as exemplified by the extraordinary scholarly career of Konrad H. Jarausch. Through fascinating reflections on the discipline's theoretical, professional, and methodological dimensions, it explores Jarausch's monumental work as a teacher and a builder of scholarly institutions. In this way, it provides not merely a look back at the last fifty years of German history, but a path forward as new ideas and methods infuse the study of Germany's past."--Provided by publisher.
