A Jewish Woman’s Cookbook opened to a handwritten recipe.
A cookbook recently purchased by a Maryland woman provides a lens to mid-twentieth-century Jewish cooking. The book is a rare find in that it came out of the holocaust, and contains a handwritten recipe, indicating it was a personal possession. “A book generally didn’t remain in a person’s possession through their imprisonment in a concentration camp — even if it wasn’t confiscated — because it couldn’t help an inmate survive.”
