[Cz-L] Czernowitz on Epicurious.com

I was looking for challah recipes on Epicurious.com, which
calls itself a website "for people who love to eat." One of
the recipes I found is for "Chernowitzer Challah," from the
cookbook "A Blessing of Bread" by Maggie Glezer.

Accompanying the recipe is this text:

"In the late nineteenth century, the city of Czernowitz,
known as the Vienna of Eastern Europe, was famous throughout
Austria-Hungary for its tolerance, civic beauty, culture, and
learning. Frequently renationalized over the last millennium,
Czernowitz has passed through Romanian, Ottoman, and Austrian
control and is now a Ukrainian city called Chernivtsi. At its
cultural peak at the turn of the twentieth century, it was
populated and governed by Jews from Poland, Russia, Austria,
and Romania. It even hosted the first-ever Yiddish-language
conference in 1908. Of course, World War II destroyed this
idyll, and most of the city's Jews were deported to Auschwitz.
This recipe for a classic European challah (pronounced
'chern-o-vitzer') comes from the late Lotte Langmann...."

... a nice description except for the glaring inaccuracy of
the sentence about World War II.

To see the recipe go to

or google ** Chernowitzer Challah **.
