June Feiss Hersh graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Elementary Education and a concentration in Journalism. She pursued both paths by becoming a teacher at The Solomon Schechter Day School while earning her Master's degree in Gifted and Talented Education as well as writing freelance articles for local publications and educational magazines. After working in her family's lighting business for close to two decades, June found a new passion. She combined her talent for cooking with her dedicated support of the Museum of Jewish Heritage -- A Living Memorial to the Holocaust by writing "Recipes Remembered." She recently completed her second book, "The Kosher Carnivore "(St. Martin's Press, 2011) and is at work on her third book "Simple, Simpler, Simplest. "

All the recipes in this book are wonderful!
- Mayor Edward I. Koch This patiently gathered, touching and
important archive of heirloom recipes with their
companion stories is a heartwarming must-have gem,
- Gale Gand, nationally acclaimed pastry chef, restaurateur,
cookbook author, and television personality
June Hersh offers us a rare gift in this cookbook. It is a
testament to the Jewish human
condition and its ability to transcend the past and move forward
without forgetting. The
survivors' stories of deep love and great loss moved me. The
understanding that for
many, these recipes are all that remains of large, close, precious
families takes my breath
away. The juxtaposition of their brave stories with recipes only
makes what they endured
even more unimaginable. May the food of their memories nourish our
spirits.
--Suzie Fishbein, author of the Kosher by Design series of
