We visited the\u00a0J\u0171disches Museum on Monday and it’s now Friday morning, so I’m pretty late with this reflective note. This is mostly accounted for by\u00a0the fact that I’m lazy and forgetful. \u00a0Part of it, however, is due to the fact that I don’t think I took very much away from the visit. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and he was more critical than you typically get from official tour guides. It was interesting to learn about the role of department stores in the history of Jews in Berlin (and vice versa), and I’m glad to have learned who Grete L\u00f6benstein was. With rare exceptions I am really not a fan of guided tours. Especially not in places which already present an extremely produced experience to the visitor. I took too long eating lunch and did not get to see the section on the Jewish faith, and that is my fault. I can’t remember when it happened, but I bought a book by Martin Buber in the museum gift shop and I love it. I should maybe go back when I can wander around at my own pace and visit that section on the Jewish faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
