Travel with Agnon House to Poland—the greatest center of Ashkenazic Jewish life for centuries and site of its near total annihilation. Encounter the places and texts which shaped so much of Jewish experience from the medieval era through the crises of the 20th century, and discover the surprising revival of Jewish life today.

Travel in the footsteps of the classical Torah scholars and the modern Jewish literature which sprang from the places we will visit—including S.Y. Agnon’s classic “Stories of Poland.” Study these texts, tales, and ideas with our outstanding scholars and guides. All tours and lectures in English.

As someone who still buys paper guidebooks, I find this really annoying. It's bad for legit travel writers, travelers, AND Amazon (since the company pays for the return postage for garbage books).

If you're buying a travel book online, look for these clues that it may not be for real!

Shoddy guidebooks are flooding Amazon. Their authors claim to be renowned travel writers, but are they A.I. inventions? And how big is the problem?
