Ruth Ellen Gruber is an American writer, photographer, editor and independent scholar living in Europe. For two decades she has chronicled Jewish cultural developments and other contemporary European Jewish issues. She coined the term “Virtually Jewish” to describe the way the so-called “Jewish space” in Europe is often filled by non-Jews.
Her latest books are National Geographic Jewish Heritage Travel: A Guide to Eastern Europe (2007), and Letters from Europe (and Elsewhere) (2008).
She is also working on "Sauerkraut Cowboys, Indian Dreams: Imaginary Wild Wests in Contemporary Europe," an exploration of the American frontier in the European imagination for which she won a 2006 Guggenheim Fellowship and an NEH summer stipend grant.
