Julian H. Preisler is a professional genealogist, author and documentarian residing in Falling Waters, West Virginia near Washington, DC. I am a native of Detroit, Michigan and a graduate of Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I have over 17 years of  research experience. Work has begun on obtaining photographs for Volume Two of the synagogue cd-rom series with anticipated completion in mid 2011. I am the son of Holocaust Survivor parents originally from Germany and the Czech Republic. I have had an intense interest in Jewish history/genealogy and synagogue architecture for over 25 years. My published works include:

  • Jewish Cemeteries of the Delmarva Peninsula

  • Pioneer American Synagogues: A State By State Guide

  • Jewish Genealogical Resources: Mid-Atlantic States

  • Historic Synagogue of Philadelphia & The Delaware Valley

  • Jewish West Virginia - Images of America Series

American Synagogues: A Photographic Journey has been reviewed by noted Texas Jewish author Hollace Ava Weiner and appeared in the Texas Jewish Post. Feature articles with photographs have appeared in the Washington Jewish Week, Daily Mail (Charleston, WV), Herald-Mail (Hagerstown, MD) and The Journal (Martinsburg, WV). Shorter articles have also appeared in the Menorah (Durham, NC); Community (Louisville, KY) and The Rambler (Southern Jewish Historical Society).

 

Some of my synagogue and local Jewish history photographs have recently appeared in Moment Magazine and the book and accompanying exhibit Down Home: Jewish Life in North Carolina.
