This is a cookbook created by the women housed in terezin - a concentration camp outside Prague. The cookbook made its way to Mina's daughter in 1970. In addition to the recipes, which are revealing on their own, some of Mina's poetry that she wrote in the camp is included. Reading the recipes, which include adjustments for rations, and many classic ashkenazi Jewish dishes, was very moving. #lrc2017 #fooddrinkbook #cookbook

LeahBergen Oh, this looks amazing. 7y
Blaire @LeahBergen it was! Though, I will note I went in expecting a narrative woven through it, and there is an introduction that explains the story and her poetry at the end, but the book is simply the recipes and they speak for themselves and are reprinted just as written in either Czech or German and then translated. 7y
