In Memory's Kitchen A Legacy from the Women of Terezin by Cara de Silva

Cara de Silva relates the story of Mina Pachter, imprisoned in a concentration camp at Theresienstadt (Czech republic) during the 1940's. Mina, with the women there, tried to maintain a normalcy, for them, by remembering recipes and creating a cookbook after a fashion. When a person reads between the lines, one senses the deprivation the women suffered, the cruelty they were subjected to, and how their thought processes were affected by the imprisonment. A short read, a lot of recipes, heartbreaking. Another look at the atrocities of concentration camps. Sandy Penton.
