Andela Hrg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andela Hrg was a Croatian dissident imprisoned in the Jasenovac concentration camp in Croatia for part of World War II.
As per ([1]) and reported by the BBC's Nick Higham, "[f]or 23 days in January 1942, Andela Hrg had no food. She passed the time by writing a recipe book. In tiny handwriting in a child's exercise book, she copied out from memory the ingredients for mouth-watering dishes stuffed with sugar, chocolate, eggs, butter, orange juice and whipped cream. Many years later she gave the book to her children - as a memento of her time in one of the most brutal concentration camps of World War II. When she wrote down her recipes, Andela Hrg was a political prisoner in one of a complex of camps at Jasenovac in Croatia. The camp population included not only Jews and political prisoners like Andela, but Serbs, gypsies and Muslims."
She finished it the next month and the small, yellowed book with the simple title "Recepti" is a testament to her endurance ([2]).
