Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Traditional red cabbage (Rotkohl)

    • Culinarycarol on August 16, 2025

      Delicious! This is the way my German grandmother and my mother made this dish. I used two apples, and cooked it covered. It can get dry so check and periodically add water. Chunking the apples works just fine--no need to grate them.

  • Chicken paprikash (Paprikás csirke)

    • meginyeg on March 18, 2023

      We all liked this. I served it over mashed potatoes. I will try to find some better quality paprika for the next batch.

  • Flourless chocolate torte

    • dosojosazules on March 05, 2025

      Turned out lighter than other flourless chocolate cakes I’ve made. We all enjoyed it. Used Guittard bittersweet chocolate

Publishers Text

More than a cookbook, this collection of heirloom recipes conveys Auschwitz-Birkenau survivors’ stories through the mnemonic lens of cooking and food. Collected and edited during the pandemic, this book—in the words of Ronald S. Lauder, Chairman of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Foundation—“is a story of hope and triumph of the human spirit.” Over 110 recipes accompanied by survivors’ pre-war recollections and post-liberation memories weave a unique tapestry of sensory experiences of flavors and aromas from the old world, accounts of loss and trauma, as well as heartwarming and poignant tales of new beginnings and healing. All of the recipes have been tested and retested to make sure they can be replicated in your kitchen while keeping the original character and voice of the survivors who contributed to the volume. Delicious recipes include Blintzes, Kugel, Matzo Ball Soup, Cholent, Goulash, Kasha Varnishkes, Rugelach, and more. Plus, there is a special chapter devoted to classic dishes for the Jewish holidays (Latkes, Charoset, Gefilte Fish, Knishes, Tzimmes, Challah, and others) that you can use to prepare, host, or bring food to a gathering. All proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Foundation.
