The Judengasse in Frankfurt, which was established in 1462, was the first ghetto in Europe and one of the most important centers of European Jewry until it was dissolved in 1796. This book accompanies the new permanent exhibition in the Judengasse Museum. It presents Jewish history and culture from the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century. Featuring paintings, ritual objects, books and documents - and examining these in conjunction with archeological finds - it paints a rich portrait of everyday life in the Judengasse.

Fritz Backhaus is deputy director of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt. Professor Raphael Gross is director of the Simon Dubnow Institute for Jewish History and Culture and holder of the chair for Jewish history and culture at Leipzig University. From 2006 to 2015 he was director of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt. Sabine Kößling is curator for history at the Jewish Museum Frankfurt and project manager of the new permanent exhibition. Dr. Mirjam Wenzel is director of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt.
