Holocaust Survivor Cookbook
Jewish Family Service of Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren Counties is offering a unique fundraiser to support the Holocaust Survivor’s Assistance Program.
For more than two years Joanne Caras of Port St. Lucie, Florida and her entire family worked tirelessly to collect recipes and stories from Holocaust Survivors. They are all compiled into this unforgettable cookbook.
“We asked Holocaust Survivors to send us their favorite recipe, photos, and also the story of how they were able to survive the Holocaust”, Joanne said. “We collected 129 stories from all over the world, including Europe, South America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Israel, and many US states. Each one is a miracle!”
