"'Honey Cake & Latkes: Recipes From the Old World by the Auschwitz-Birkenau Survivors' is a historical record as much as a cookbook that came out in September. It features dozens of old photos and accounts of life before, during and after WWII as well as the recipes that helped sustain survivors’ memories of family and kept them anchored to their Jewish heritage," writes @adeenasussman.⁠
⁠
"Rather than a sad postscript to genocide, the book is a celebration of the power of food told from the perspective of a population who, contrary to expectations, telegraphs survival, renewal and joy.⁠
⁠
In the book, Budapest-born survivor Eva Szepesi, who has lived in Frankfurt, Germany, since 1954, shares a recipe for Hungarian Goulash and nokedli (dumplings) that she remembers her mother and grandmother making before the war and which the 90-year-old now cooks for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.⁠
⁠
Tova Friedman, who was 1 year old when the war ended, shares a recipe for tzimmes that her mother began making once the family settled in a displaced persons camp in Germany after the war. She also contributed a recipe for kasha varnishkes from her late husband’s family. She started making the dish after they married and settled in Highland Park, N.J."⁠
