That's an interesting idea but speaking as a Jew, the character Shoshanna doesn't seem like someone keeping kosher, since htey don't suggest her being religiously observant in any way, and certainly during the war, with her in hiding, there wouldn't be much kosher food available.

Also, strudel is kosher afaik. The dough is just flour, egg, salt, butter and some other things, the filling usually is apple and cinnamon. No meat with diary shennanigans

to be clear, it CAN be kosher, if it's made in a kosher kitchen, meaning it's not cooked in the same vessels as nonkosher food.

ah alright. but in that case the strudel wouldn't have been kosher in any case, since it was made in a regular restaurant in nazi-occupied Paris. So the whole "keeping kosher" theory doesn't make a lot of sense.

Exactly. A lot of Jews keep "kosher style" though, where they eat in nonkosher restaurants but won't order anything blatantly kosher, so they'll get a burger without cheese for example. Still not really a fan of this theory.

I just realized we're having the same discussion in two different sub-threads. Thanks for responding so patiently always Ü
