Bonny Reichert
How to Share an Egg
A True Story of Hunger, Love, and Plenty

Canadian journalist Bonny Reichert grew up with a love of food from her family’s restaurant business—and her father’s stories of starvation and survival in Auschwitz and Birkenau. In this dual memoir, she recalls moments of both scarcity and abundance, her reluctance to examine the horrors behind her father’s childhood, and the shared meal in a Warsaw restaurant that finally helped her face her fears about writing his life story. Reichert shares her family’s legacy, both personal and culinary, her struggles as a child of Holocaust survivors, and how she found the courage and joy her father wished for her.

Bonny Reichert has been an editor for Chatelaine and Today’s Parent and has received the 
National Magazine Award.
