Witness the fading infrastructure of Borscht Belt hotels and bungalows in the Catskill Mountain region of New York as chronicled by photographer Marisa Scheinfeld. She shares excerpts from her book, The Borscht Belt: Revisiting the Remains of America’s Jewish Vacationland, which captures and celebrates the 1920s to the 1970s when the region was the summer playground for American Jews.

Vacation to the Borscht Belt as a kid? We’d like to hear your stories! Send them to editor@nbm.org to be featured at the upcoming talk.
