Irris is currently working on an oral history and cooking project, gathering the life stories and recipes of Jewish Holocaust survivors, and photographing them with their grandchildren. This multi-media project is focused on the transmission of culture and memory - the 'taste of memory' in fact.

Irris Makler - TEDx talk 2019

ABC COMPASS program joins three Australian Jewish grandmothers in their kitchens preparing for Passover with their grandchildren.

Sharing their recipes for traditional European Jewish dishes, the women also hand down family stories of resilience and loss, of surviving the Holocaust in Nazi Europe and of arriving in Australia as refugees to begin a new life.

Produced and directed by Irris Makler, talking to the wonderful Lena Goldstein, Eva Grinston and Rita Ross.
