German and Jewish ways of life have been interwoven in Worms,
Germany, for over a thousand years. Despite radical changes brought
about by expulsion of Jews, wartime devastation, social
advancement, cultural and religious renewal, and the Jewish
community's destruction during the Holocaust, the Jewish sites of
Worms display a remarkable degree of continuity, which has
contributed to the development of distinct urban Jewish cultures,
memories, and identities.
Tracing the recollection and invention of local Jewish historical
traditions in religious commemorations, historical writings,
museums, and historical monuments, and the transformation from
"sites" to "sights" in the form of tourism from the Middle Ages to
the present, Roemer's rich study of Worms offers a blueprint for
historians interested in developing similar studies of cities over
the longue duree.
