Woman finds boat she believes saved her father from the Nazis

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Holocaust Museum is a place that largely reminds visitors of the inhumanity of which mankind is capable. Two Pinellas County women who lost grandparents to the Holocaust are helping to bring a message of humanity to the museum. They also have parents who escaped the Nazis due to the heroism of people in Denmark. When the Nazis prepared to round up that nation’s Jewish population, Danish fishermen ferried them to safety in their boats to Sweden. “This story can give people hope,” said Irene Weiss. It’s why she and Margot Benstock ...

Syrian soup pulls almost everything from pantry

Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street There’s a comforting Syrian soup that features a rustic mix of meatballs and rice in a simple tomatoey broth flush with warm spices.

And the prep is easy. They grate onion and garlic to flavor the meatballs and broth so no ...

But first, they brown the swordfish in olive oil and finish cooking it over low, gentle heat. That cooks the fish throughout but keeps it moist and tender. Capers and ...
