Feiertags Küchenkalender für die jüdische Hausfrau [Holiday Recipes for the Jewish Housewife]. [Frankfurt am Mein]: Heim des jüdischen Frauenbundes Neu-Isenburg [Home of the Jewish Women's League in Neu-Isenburg], [1910-1920]. German.
A booklet with dozens of recipes for the Jewish holidays, including recipes for Shavuot, Tishat HaYamim, Rosh HaShana, the eve of Yom Kippur, Passover, Purim, and more. On the back cover of the booklet appear advertisements for Jewish businesses and stores. The booklet was issued by the "Home of the Jewish Women's League" in Neu-Isenburg, close to Frankfurt – a Jewish shelter for girls at risk, pregnant women, single mothers and children (legitimate and illegitimate) which provided its residents with education and training in household maintenance. The shelter was established in 1907 by Bertha Pappenheim (1859-1936), a feminist, the founder of the League of Jewish Women and a pioneer in the field of social-work. Pappenheim was an activist for Jewish women and an activist in the struggle against prostitution and trafficking in women.
In 1938, a day after Kristallnacht, the main building of the "Home of the Jewish Women's League" was burned down. In 1942, the Gestapo invaded the place and its remaining residents were sent to concentration camps.
