‘Chinese Lady’ Lorraine Witte teaches basics to feed soul
COURTESY JOSIMAR KING Lorraine Witte teaches Chinese cooking through her classes, cookbooks and videos.COURTESY JOSIMAR KING Lorraine Witte’s Napoleon Wontons reflect a fusion approach. When Lorraine Lum was 7, she learned to cook rice perfectly to win the approval of her parents. The daughter of hardworking Chinese immigrants who came to Hawaii in the 1940s, she soon graduated to folding wontons by the hundreds for her father’s restaurant, which earned her 10 cents an afternoon, enough to buy a movie ticket and popcorn. Of all the foods her father showed her to make, wontons were her favorite. The sensory gratification of cooking and feeding people became a part of her identity, so it was natural for Lum, now Lorraine Witte, to become an Asian food consultant and lifelong teacher. These days she is nicknamed “The Chinese Lady,” after the tag on her YouTube Channel. Witte authored her first e-cookbook at age 77 and has become a whiz at social media … [Read more...] about ‘Chinese Lady’ Lorraine Witte teaches basics to feed soul

Many Americans Still Don’t Know Basic Facts About The Holocaust, Survey Finds
U.S. NEWS 04/12/2018 04:58 pm ET Updated 9 hours ago Only 41 percent of Americans knew what Auschwitz was — but that shouldn't come as a total shock. By Sara Boboltz 920 Findings of a survey released to coincide Holocaust Remembrance Day on Thursday took social media by surprise: Two-thirds of millennials did not know what Auschwitz was. Americans as a whole did not fare terribly better: 41 percent could not define the infamous Nazi concentration camp. Other stats also revealed a cringeworthy lack of Holocaust knowledge. Eleven percent of Americans (or 22 percent of millennials) either have not heard of or aren’t sure whether they’ve heard of the Holocaust at all, and 31 percent of Americans (or 41 percent of millennials) believe 2 million or fewer Jewish people died in the Holocaust. (Experts believe the real figure is close to 6 million.) Millennials were defined as adults ages 18 to 34. The survey, which polled 1,350 American … [Read more...] about Many Americans Still Don’t Know Basic Facts About The Holocaust, Survey Finds
