Oma Mina’s Käsekuchen
An illustrated history of the Weil and Levy families over a century of rootedness in Germany followed by exile, loss and renewal in the United States and Switzerland. 

The book was a family collaboration co-authored with Ruth’s brother Michael Landy and cousin David Siegel. It includes thirteen treasured family recipes saved from spattered index cards and faded papers, and tested for the modern kitchen.

An English version is in private circulation in the United States. A German version is available from Amazon and other booksellers. The town of Landau organized a well-attended book launch where residents shared their family cheesecakes for all to enjoy.

The Archives of the Leo Baeck Institute for the Study of German-Jewish History and Culture include The Weil Family: Chronicle of a Turbulent Half Century written by Ernest and Cynthia Landy, Ruth’s parents. It vividly recounts the lives and times of one family from Germany’s Palatinate region bordering France.
