JCCU Lunch & Learn: Stories and Recipes of Holocaust Survivors

Please join us for a wonderful lunch and learn with June Hersh, auithor of  Food, Hope & Resilience: Authen­tic Recipes and Remark­able Sto­ries from Holo­caust Survivors, at 12:30 pm.  But don't forget to attend our JCC-U classes - see below for schedule.

Some­times we leaf through cook­books for din­ner ideas, and some­times we actu­al­ly read them because we want to learn some­thing, to be inspired. June Hersh’s new cook­book does this and more. Here, in the revised edi­tion of her 2013 book, Recipes Remem­bered: a Cel­e­bra­tion of Sur­vival, Hersh weaves sto­ries and recipes from Holo­caust sur­vivors with recipes from notable culi­nary icons of today — all of which con­nect us to each oth­er, to our his­to­ry, and, ulti­mate­ly, to our shared human­i­ty. The book could not be more time­ly; it nour­ish­es us both phys­i­cal­ly and spiritually. 

June Hersh is a five-time pub­lished author, with four cook­books and one Holo­caust pho­tog­ra­phy book. She focus­es on food his­to­ry, main­ly the con­nec­tion between Jew­ish expe­ri­ences and food mem­o­ry. June’s books are writ­ten with a char­i­ta­ble fla­vor, as her pro­ceeds ben­e­fit not-for-prof­it Jew­ish-relat­ed orga­ni­za­tions. She has been fea­tured on radio, TV, in print, and hun­dreds of book talks relat­ed to her work.
