A great essay about a unique house museum & its Victorian history by UCB alumna & public historian Katie Hobbes for my series on Public Streets!

"Often, the story of Jewish Amsterdam is told through the lens of the Holocaust. But look deeper into these monuments of the Jewish Quarter, and you’ll see that the history of Amsterdam Jewry is deep and diverse." @JakeGoldwasser @PublicBooks publicbooks.org/jewish-havens-…
