Go on a mouth watering journey through the ancient world with this family-friendly cookbook.

Taste your way through 18 cultures as you feed your mind with mythical origins and the historical significance of food around the world and across tens of thousands of years. Make tamales like the Olmecs in Mesoamerica and curry like the people of the Indus Valley Civilization of India. Enjoy feasts, drinks, desserts, and simple snacks as you read about their ancient origins.

Eva and her identical twin sister, Miriam, had a mostly happy childhood. Theirs was the only Jewish family in their small village in the Transylvanian mountains, but they didn't think much of it until anti-Semitism reared its ugly head in their school. Then, in 1944, ten-year-old Eva and her family were deported to Auschwitz. At its gates, Eva and Miriam were separated from their parents and other siblings, selected as subjects for Dr. Mengele's infamous medical experiments.

Our recipes are designed with families in mind, so many offer gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian options. Each recipe has a recommended skill level for younger chefs. More than 100 photos will tempt your appetite and keep you flipping through this book of food history.

During the course of the war, Mengele would experiment on 3,000 twins. Only 160 would survive--including Eva and Miriam.

Writing with her friend Danica Davidson, Eva reveals how two young girls were able to survive the unimaginable cruelty of the Nazi regime, while also eventually finding healing and the capacity to forgive. Spare and poignant, I Will Protect You is a vital memoir of survival, loss, and forgiveness.

I love cookbooks, and I love history, so this is right up my alley. This book is meant to be paired with Hanson's other book, [[Ancient History: A Secular Exploration of the World]]. I highly recommend that book, and think you could use this with any history curriculum.

==Emily's Review==
+
There is a really good variety of recipes from around the world, many not typically included in historical cookbooks, like African, Asian, and South American countries - even Aboriginal Australia is included! Also, as a person with food allergies, I appreciate that she included substitutions and notes for gluten-free and vegan options. The author is a historian who has worked in living history, which lends a lot of authenticity to this cookbook. I can trust that she did extensive research into the recipes included.

I am so grateful that Eva was able to survive and tell her story. This is such an important book and it does something that I don't think happens enough in Holocaust literature for children.  
 
  
−
First, this book goes out of its way to explain repeatedly that the Nazis were not original. They took ideas and hate towards Jews that had been circulating for thousands of years. The Nazis didn't invent Antisemitism. They just industrialized it.  
+
There are also stories, histories, and more included throughout, making this a great supplement for your ancient history curriculum.  
  
−
Second, the book doesn't end once the camps were liberated. We get to follow Eva into adulthood and see how the experiences she suffered during the war affected her entire life. I think too often books for children want to end with liberation and then we're supposed to believe that they just lived happily ever after. This book chooses to show the reality, which is sometimes not as pretty.

Eva survived through anger and sheer force of will, which carried through her adult life. But her anger didn't dissipate after the war. It burned a hole inside of her until she learned to let it go. She talks about how rather than teaching tolerance, we need to teach respect. She doesn't shy away from pointing out that hate was taught - that children and people who they thought were friends were willing to stand by while they were taken away and put into the camps. That Europe was still unsafe for Jews after the war.

List of All Booklists

Other Booklists

Why is HBBB a thing?

I am a list maker. I love organizing booklists, to-do lists, checklists of all kinds. I spend a great deal of my time researching books for my job and I’ve often found it frustrating that there isn’t one reliable resource where I can find an organized timeline of literature. So I’ve created one. I’ve set out to create a resource that will guide you on a literary adventure through history.

You can find books here on just about every time period or historical topic and for any age level. I’ve done my best to research and vet each title to ensure that this list is filled with living books. I’ve noted content warnings when necessary and my daughters and I have reviewed many of the titles recommended. This has been and will continue to be a labor of love, as we continue to build this website and update these book suggestions. I hope you find it helpful!

Thanks and Happy Reading, Emily
