Overview

This ethnographic research investigates foodways in a post-Holocaust town, revealing connections to memory and socio-economic legacies.

Key Points

  • Jewish foodways persist in memory, revealing connections to the town's past and the complexity of Polish-Jewish relations.
  • The analysis highlights how memory is influenced by structural amnesia and stereotypes, impacting contemporary food practices.
  • Extensive ethnographic research conducted in the Podlasie region uncovers the socio-economic void left by the absence of Jewish communities.
  • The findings suggest that food serves as both a site of remembrance and a means of historical erasure in this multicultural context.
