...I posed this question to myself.  Agonized over the ingredients;

with my wife Rochelle's help this is what was arrived at…

BURNT EGG…

…Symbolic of the unborn Jewish generations never to be born

…The burnt egg is a reminder of the crematoria ovens used to complete the destruction of our martyrs

CURLY ENDIVE…

…To remember the bitterness and brutality that people were forced to endure

…To visually represent the barbed wire fences that enclosed us in inhuman killing centers; Auschwitz, Dachau, Teblinka, Bergen-Belsen…

DANISH BLUE CHEESE…

…To represent the blue numbers tattooed into the Jewish flesh

…To honor the Danish King, his people and all the righteous individuals; exemplified by Roaul Wallenberg, Oskar Schindler, Miep Gies and Chuine Sugihara, who selfishly aided the Jewish people

SIX RAISINS…

…Six to embody the six million Jews destroyed by the Nazis while the world stood by and did nothing

…Dried, shriveled fruit to help us to never forget the unbearable thirst, hunger and cruel destruction of two-thirds of European Jewry

BEETS…

…Popular Eastern European vegetable to help us to never forget our lost heritages

…A crimson vegetable used to create borsht, a red soup reminiscent of our

flowing blood

BABY CORN…

… Yellow, to remind us of the yellow Star of David that all Jews were forced to wear.

…Large quantities of small kernels to remind us of the two million children destroyed in the "Final Solution"
