Trude Kassowitz
Trude wrote the recipes in Auschwitz. “I’d pretend to visit someone as her guest
and she’d pretend to serve me coffee and cake. She’d hand me a recipe and I’d
write it down. We did it to overcome the sense of hunger.”
Trude was born in 1907 in Fiume, Austro-Hungary, and lived with her husband,
Oskar, in Vienna. In March 1944, both were sent to various camps in Yugoslavia
and Hungary. Eventually Trude was deported to Birkenau. She obtained the paper
and writing implements at her workplace, “Kommando Kanada” (where belongings
were sorted). Her husband and parents perished; Trude died in 2002 in the United
States.
