{"product_id":"9781461665106","title":"In Memory's Kitchen: A Legacy from the Women of Terezin","description":"The sheets of paper are as brittle as fallen leaves; the faltering handwriting changes from page to page; the words, a faded brown, are almost indecipherable. The pages are filled with recipes. Each is a memory, a fantasy, a hope for the future. Written by undernourished and starving women in the Czechoslovakian ghetto\/concentration camp of Terezín (also known as Theresienstadt), the recipes give instructions for making beloved dishes in the rich, robust Czech tradition. Sometimes steps or ingredients are missing, the gaps a painful illustration of the condition and situation in which the authors lived. Reprinting the contents of the original hand-sewn copybook, \u003ci\u003eIn Memory's Kitchen: A Legacy from the Women of Terezín\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautiful memorial to the brave women who defied Hitler by preserving a part of their heritage and a part of themselves. Despite the harsh conditions in the Nazis' \"model\" ghetto - which in reality was a way station to Auschwitz and other death camps - cultural, intellectual, and artistic life did exist within the walls of the ghetto. Like the heart-breaking book \u003ci\u003eI Never Saw Another Butterfly\u003c\/i\u003e, which contains the poetry and drawings of the children of Terezín, the handwritten cookbook is proof that the Nazis could not break the spirit of the Jewish people.","brand":"Aronson, Jason Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143753810160,"sku":"9781461665106","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781461665106_p0.jpg?v=1772805518","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461665106","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
