		Bolivia is a country with serious upheavals (economic and political) and it has an engaging and often revolutionary political system.
		I think it shows true respect for a culture to be able to proudly display its strengths and honestly discuss what 'stinks.' Arrogance in the Bolivian professional world that forces the 'unconnected' to be treated dismissively is not just an opportunity for the disenfranchised to learn patience.
		It is a flaw in that culture...just as it is in any culture where it occurs (there, I've said it and the PC God didn't strike me dead!) Having said that, I must admit that Cramer does not sugar coat everything.

		In Hotel Bolivia: The Culture of Memory in a Refugee from Nazism, Leo Spitzer, born in La Paz, Bolivia, assumes the double role of historian and participant as he takes the reader along on a fascinating journey through Bolivia's Jewish quarters.
		His narrative explains the ways in which the Jews in Bolivia recreated the culture of their native countries in a foreign land that was unlike anything the majority of them had ever seen.
		Spitzer wants to continue to transmit the memories of life in Bolivia to others because "transmission is surrounded by values and lessons that transcend its inherent limitations..." Hotel Bolivia, then, is about continuing the transmission of memory from one generation to the next, so as not to forget the past.

		As a grand son of jews that also took Bolivia (1910) as a Refuge from the madness of Pogroms in czarist Russia, I was since long ago interested in the following waves of forced jewish inmigration in this country.
		Leo Spitzer, a Professor of History at Dartmouth and specialist in cultural memory and gender studies, was born in La Paz in 1939, his parents having just fled their beloved Vienna.
		His book, Hotel Bolivia, succeeds in providing an enlightening look at the little known story of the Jewish refugee community in Bolivia; and also, for the most part, Spitzer accomplishes his goal to craft a meditation on the nature of individual and collective memories and the ability of people to adapt to their new environment.

		The Catalogue Centre of the Vice-Ministry of Culture has already documented 15,000 works of art in various churches, and plans to add information on another 15,000 early/late colonial paintings.
