Memoirs of an Unfortunate Person
An English translation of a Yiddish manuscript, written by Moty (Mordechai) Stromer (1910-1993) in April-May 1944, while he was hiding at the Jagonia (now Yahidnya) farm, waiting for the liberation of the area from the Nazis. Contains memoirs and diary notes. The German occupation caught Stromer in Kamionka Strumilowa, near Lvov. After having been brutally beaten by Ukrainians, Stromer fled to Lvov and entered the ghetto. In June 1943, having survived numerous Nazi murder actions and forced labor in the Janówska camp, and having lost all of his relatives, Stromer escaped from the ghetto and was hidden by his neighbors in Kamionka, the ethnic German farmer Józef Streker and his wife. After the war Stromer settled in the USA.
Food, Hope & Resilience
Culinary Traditions Preserved, Stories Never to be Forgotten This vital 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 those 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 like chicken soup and brisket while unfamiliar delights they adopted, like arroz con pollo and gnocchi, became part of their repertoire. These are the recipes they share with you. Culinary icons such as Michael Solomonov, Jonathan Waxman, Ina Garten and more contribute their own recipes as tribute to the remarkable survivor community. Author June Hersh gives readers a taste of history and a life-affirming message that honors the legacy of Holocaust survivors. A portion of the proceeds from sales of this book will benefit organizations committed to Holocaust education.
A Hunger To Survive
A Hunger To Survive presents a fascinating journey into the rich history of Jewish food, and provides intriguing insight into the impact of the Holocaust on the path of Jewish food ways in America. This compelling study explains how food has played a crucial role in preserving cultural and religious identity, even motivating those in camps and ghettoes and hiding to survive, providing sustenance in body and spirit, and enabling communal bonding and resistance. Through a wide variety of primary sources, including testimonies, diaries and survivor cookbooks, Jared Heller offers a compelling case that Jewish foods and accompanying rituals in the years post-Holocaust have become more uniform and widely embraced by Jews, as much as part of their common identity as the Holocaust itself and their unbroken collective will for Judaism and the Jewish people to survive.
