Since I still have my mother's Austrian cookbook "Was koche ich Heute",
published in 1933, in Gothic typeface, I looked in the index for
"Pirogen",
but did not find any. Nor did I find anything which looked like Pirogen.
My conclusion: Polish "Pirogis" and Russian "Piroshki", in Czernowitz
became "Pirogen".
About the cookbook: I doubt my mother took it with her to the ghetto.
Does this mean that my mother got it back from the Grecu family
who moved into our house, while we were in the ghetto?
But she took it with her when we left Czernowitz, when she illegally
crossed the border to Bulgaria, onto the ship "Pan Crescent", to Ciprus,
to Israel and eventually the the US.
