DESCRIPTION:Country houses are powerful symbols of national identity\, evo
 king the glamorous world of the landowning aristocracy. Jewish country hou
 ses – properties that were owned\, built\, or renewed by Jews – tell a
  more complex story of prejudice and integration\, difference and connecti
 on. A few are now museums of international importance\, many more are hidd
 en treasures\, and all were beloved homes that bear witness to the remarka
 ble achievements of newly emancipated Jews across Europe – and to a drea
 m of belonging that mostly came to a brutal end with the Holocaust.\n\n_Je
