""Eva Moreimi movingly tells the story of her family, her father Ernest, slave laborer in German Allied Hungary, her mother Ica and Aunt Babi and their journey from a life of comfort into the world of Auschwitz, their survival and liberation and then their journey back from the abyss...Read the book and be moved by the story of courage and determination, loss and dehumanization but also the struggle to resist both physical and spiritual annihilation. Bake from these Hidden Recipes but only if you make two commitments: Serve these cakes on a joyous occasion -- these women suffered enough...Above all, tell their story for they must be remembered."" --Michael Berenbaum, Director of the Sigi Ziering Institute, Professor of Jewish Studies, American Jewish University ""From courage to cuisine, this incredible story shows how the best of humanity can survive in the darkest of times. Hidden Recipes captures not only an amazing story of Ica's heroism and survival, but a story of struggle and redemption as scraps of paper will keep alive the memories of joy for generations to come."" --Steve Isakowitz, Space Industry Executive, Child of Holocaust Survivors ""Hidden Recipes is a loving tribute to Elena and Ernest Kalina by their daughter Eva. Elena's recipes are a legacy to her family and an honor to those women who shared their favorite dishes with her in the camp. Because of her act of resistance these women will live on through their recipes."" --Jodi Elowitz, Director of Education, Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center ""Eva Moreimi's book is a unique Holocaust survival story. In the most unlikely of places, while starving, the women shared with Ica, the author's mother, their most precious family recipes. Ica risked everything to scribble down the recipes, and in an act of defiance and a quest to preserve her culture, she hid them. A fascinating story of uncanny coincidence and serendipity, resilience and defiance."" --Janet Horvath, Cellist, Child of Holocaust Survivors, Author of Playing (Less) Hurt and her upcoming memoir, Piercing the Silence
