The interview with Dr. Maria Zalewska, editor of the cookbook "Honey Cake & Latkes: Recipes from the Old World by the Auschwitz-Birkenau Survivors"

Listen to the interview with Dr. Maria Zalewska who is the editor
of a unique cookbook "Honey Cake & 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. 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."
