Description
Three inspiring Jewish women who lived through WWII pass on their life experience and recipes to their grandchildren.
While telling their stories of surviving the Holocaust and arriving in Australia as refugees, the women prepare food for the Passover festival with their grandchildren. Using powerful interviews woven around personal photos and archival footage, the women reveal how their family legacy is passed on to future generations. When a matriarch's experience is so bitter does she pass on fear and trauma - or a stubborn survival instinct along with her cooking secrets? Both generations speak frankly about their unbreakable bond. Features Rita Ross, Lena Goldstein and Eva Grinston
