Books
What happened to the books that were too valuable to burn? Alice Urbach had her own cooking school in Vienna, but in 1938 she was forced to flee to England. Returning to the ruins of Vienna in the late 1940s, she discovers that her bestselling cookbook has been published under someone else's name. Eighty years later, the historian Karina Urbach - Alice's granddaughter - uncovers the truth behind the stolen cookbook, and tells the extraordinary story of a family torn apart by the Nazi regime, of imprisonment and escape, persecution and fraud, and ultimately of a woman who, with her unwavering passion for cooking, survived the horror and losses of the Holocaust to begin a new life in America.
