THIS segment, more than ALL the rest of them that I've watched this morning made me sit here at my computer and just bawl my eyes out. Why? Because I don't have my own mothers "recipes"..she never wrote them down - but I do now live in her house which I inherited, cook with the same pots and pans she did and have the whole rest of our family "history" still here with me. My god, to lose your entire family, documents & belongings - everything and then suddenly years later, find your mother's recipe book is beyond words...to have someone bring those recipes TO LIFE again to share for Steven Fenves, is a *supreme* act of kindness. It has helped Mr. Fenves continue his mission to have us all "never forget" those atrocities he, his family and millions of others suffered at the hands of Hitler. Sadly, Hitler wasn't the first to do that throughout the world's history. And we *need* to make sure his genocide of an entire generation(s) of people *doesn't* repeat itself again! We ensure that does NOT happen ever AGAIN by REMEMBERING and TEACHING OF IT - and NOT BY ERASING ANY TEACHING of our World *OR* Country's History! And by "breaking bread" with/feeding your neighbors you can ensure these lessons in humanity survive...
You are 100% correct. The Holocaust should be required teaching everywhere. The way to not repeat something is to make certain we know about all of it. I feel the same way about Japanese internment camps, civil rights, slavery, and how the Native Americans were treated. These are all atrocities we cannot repeat! I wish I had my grandmother's recipes. She taught me much about cooking and baking. We mostly used the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, of which I have the more recent version. Hers was from 1950ish. But she made some things just by memory, mostly sauces and gravies, but they had her special taste. I wish I could recreate her salad dressing.
I’m 71 years old mostly in the winter but other times of the year also my mother always made my sister and me homemade cream of wheat, or homemade oatmeal. I eat cream of wheat throughout the year sometimes three times a week in the morning… Every time I eat it I think of my mom. My big brother my father and my mother all passed away within a year and a half of each other. That was 29 years ago. My mother was Lithuanian and made some of the best oriental food you could ever eat. She also made the best stuffed cabbage. My dad made the best Italian meatballs and spaghetti. He was part Swedish part American. I miss all three of them very much.❤❤❤
@@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808 Yes. Definitely do it. Also, if you haven't tried it, find a place with deep friend beignets. There is a place over the bridge near a McDonalds in a pink and black building. It looks like it was a strip joint at one time. I can't remember the name. So good. Don't know if you've been to the Jack Rose, but the food is good and the dining room is very kitschy. Lots of fun. And if you want outside food with local bands and a neighborhood vibe try the Bacchanal in the Bywater.
Beautiful, Heartbreaking, Amazing and so bitter sweet. Food and Love is the answer ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for these amazing recipes and stories!!!!! More like this.
I have a wonderful recipe for New York style cheesecake. I’ve had it for more than 40 years and I never wanted to give the recipe to anyone. I just wanted to keep it to myself… Just for me. I’m gonna give it to anybody who wants it from this point on.❤❤❤
This is so remarkable, food has such a powerful meaning…….it brings us to our past as a child, one bite of a food that Grandma made, can bring memories following like no other
May Steven Fenves have many days of good health and strength to remind the world of the horrors of the Holocaust and the risk of these horrors under future autocrats. Such atrocities are bound to happen if we are not reminded.
Yes, please support Remembrance 2025, Armenian Holocaust, 110 Years at the federally funded US Holocaust Museum in DC by contacting the museum. We lost 1.5 million out of 2 million in 1915. Many say Hitler used our Holocaust for the Jewish Holocaust.
While Mr. Fenves no longer cries when he tells his story of the Shoah, as an American Jew I cry every time I hear one of these stories. May Hashem continue to bless Mr. Fenves, and to bless Alon Shaya for being a real mensch.
Yes, I cried when watching The Cut on the Armenian Holocaust, 1.5 out of 2 million lost in 1915. Hitler used this Holocaust as a blue print for the Jewish Holocaust. Please support Remembrance 2025, Armenian Holocaust, 110 Years at the federally funded US Holocaust Museum in DC by contacting the museum and requesting this exhibit. The director of The Cut is of Turkish descent and refers to the Armenian Holocaust as his genocide too. God Bless Him.
Such a wonderful report. Well done, and considerate of all those involved. How does someone buy the recipe book so the money goes toward the Holocaust museum, and its upkeep, and maybe towards adding more lost recipes?
I cried because he got to feel again his mothers love.... And very excited to see a younger generation embracing their history with passion. Beautiful story and I hope one day to eat at Saba....❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this amazing story. Food is so elemental. It connects us to our own history and to family. I'm very glad Mr. Fenves was able to experience that reconnection, even though it means also reconnecting with the sorrow of his terrible loss.
What a marvelous story of remembrance and friendship! Yes, you can certainly learn to cook by taking classes or going to culinary school. But learning from your neighbor, granny, auntie is the way of learning all the nuances of food, of learning that cooking is the gift of life.
Someone once told me that when you speak of your past and tears do not come, it means you're healing or healed.❤️ What a beautiful story and friendship.
Watching the movie The Cut about the Armenian Holocaust, I thought about the apricots eaten by the Armenians in the movie. Yes, my mother loved apricots. Thank you for talking about your recipes. Please support Remembrance 2025, Armenian Holocaust, 110 Years at the federally funded US Holocaust Museum in DC by contacting the museum. Yes, 1.5 were lost out of 2 million in 1915. Sadly, some say this Holocaust lead to your Holocaust. And, the director of The Cut recognized the Armenian Holocaust as his Holocaust as someone of Turkish descent. God Bless Him.

Tasting History by Max Miller has an excellent video on how Jewish recipes got preserved to the present day, in his video through Spanish Inquisition minutes to be used as evidence against Convertos who were accused of being " not Catholic enough" and "relapsed" back to Judaism. Part of the tactics the Spanish Inquisition used to catch these "relapsed" Convertos was through their shopping lists and pantries: if the accused's kitchen contain Jewish ingredients like eggplants, chicken fat, or chickpeas it's a "sign" they are "doing Jewish things" again in secret and must be puniahed for it. Up until their expulsion from Spain in 1432, the Convertos did everything to show they are very much "Catholic" in faith to the point they hang cured pork cuts in their homes which some say ironically notify the Inquisition they are Convertos worth snooping around...
Really wonderful how Alon tied in his NOLA restaurant with Holocaust recipe preservation (and the 25 cent Cosmopolitans at Antoine's before a Stones concert don't hurt either!).
Yes, God Bless All. Please support Remembrance 2025, Armenian Holocaust, 110 Years at the federally funded US Holocaust Museum in DC by contacting the museum. 1.5 out of 2 million were lost in 1915.
My mom burst into tears her first time in a NY deli. The food took her back to her childhood. She was Ukrainian, and on her honeymoon with my American dad.
Chag sameach🎉🎉🎉 With HaShem's mashiach, every Jew will have their re-encounter with their heritage which is Hashem and Torah and then the Great Exodus will occur. And the righteous of the Nations will know that Hashem is Gd and the prophecy will be fulfilled, And in that Day, the knowledge of Hashem will cover the world like waters cover the seabeds. That knowledge is knowing that Hashem is all that is infinite love compassion mercy and HaShem will help us understand our life's sufferings. Peace on earth. Happy Passover may we all have our own personal exodus from old ways and be reborn into a new person worthy of living in the Kingdom of Hashem.
I’m an atheist jew and just recently realized that Passover is celebrating the death of the innocent first born infants of the Egyptians . I know that Jews say they are celebrating the exodus from Egypt, but the Bible says that god hardened the Pharaoh s heart so that he wouldn’t let the Jews go free. He did that because he wanted to prove he was the one true god, because at that time there were Jews that were worshiping false idols. I love the traditions and the food, but the story behind it is brutal and genocidal
If you had even a basic grasp of the Passover story you would know that Jews pause the Seder dinner to mark and remember the deaths of Egyptians during the Exodus.
This is not what we celebrate. We celebrate our freedom from slavery and becoming our own people. Please, don’t twist stories and change facts about our culture.
It’s an amazing anecdote and an even more amazing encounter of people needing to connect. This makes me happy to be a Jew!
Me, too 💜. A Zissen Pesach!

you go from horrible stories to great ones like this. a masterpiece
Saba is an amazing restaurant. It has a communal family vibe with great food and great staff. I enjoyed both meals I ate there.
I have a timeshare in New Orleans every other year. On my next visit, I'm going to Saba!

These old recipes worked wonders on both men. Great story that wouldn't have been possible without the brave cook.
Deeply moving and beautiful ❤

This is Sunday Morning at its best. Beautiful, poignant, historical- I have shared it with many people.
I like how the old guy wears normal man glasses and the young guy wears hipster old-man glasses.

How nice: for your father to be honest about his and your heritage. What is that like?
God bless the Jewish Race, the way you have been treated thru history and even today in the Congress of the United States you remain strong.

Beautiful ✅💯👍
