Cipora survived the Holocaust during the Second World War. She drew her strength of survival from her mother's prophecy and the faith in God.Through the stories told by the survivor, the author brings to life the shtetl-village in Ruscova, Romania especially when the Sabbath and the holiday of Passover are described in details. The recipes which were collected by the author connect us to a lost Europe.
