Honey Cake and Latkes: Recipes from the Old World by the Auschwitz-Birkenau Survivors

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.
