Food, Hope & Resilience: Authentic Recipes and Remarkable Stories from Holocaust Survivors

Author: June Hersh

This collection of survivor stories uplifts and inspires alongside recipes that nourish your soul. Read about daring partisans who fought in the woods, hidden children who sought comfort from strangers, and prisoners who endured unimaginable internment. For Holocaust survivors, food was a way to connect their lives before the war with the homes they created after. Their kitchens were filled with the aromas of familiar foods, such as chicken soup and brisket, while unfamiliar delights they adopted, such as arroz con pollo and gnocchi, became part of their repertoire. These are the recipes they share with you. Culinary icons Michael Solomonov, Jonathan Waxman, Ina Garten, and more contribute their own recipes as tribute to the remarkable survivor community. 

Proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Rescued Recipes Initiative.
