Recipes Remembered: A Celebration of Survival, by June Feiss Hersh

Just read a review for what appears to be a fabulous new book for all who are interested in preserving personal and family histories-- or history in general for that matter-- through recipes.  Holocaust survivors offer the stories of their lives and their  survival, along with their recollections of family recipes.  For many, these recipes are all that remain of their families. Apparently, unlike other collections of recipes from the Holocaust, all of the recipes have been tested and modified as necessary so one can make them with currently available ingredients.

Take a look at it on Amazon.  I just ordered one for myself and each of my children.

Thank you for the lovely and meaningful comments about the book. It is so gratifying to know that so many people are connecting to this book, which I see as a vehicle for preserving food memory and giving legacy to so many people's stories and traditions. I hope you enjoy preparing the recipes from the book and find the life affirming messages of the stories inspire you as they did me. All proceeds benefit the Museum of Jewish Heritage- a Living Memorial to the Holocaust.
