I would be interested to know the name and birthplace of the opening poster. When I was a child, in the late 1950’s, living in the New York metro area, there were only 2 fillings that were used in hamantaschen – prune and poppy. (Times were tough.) Apricot, strawberry and raspberry fillings did not appear, as I recall, until the early to middle 1970’s, along with doubleknit polyester suits, disco music and small black fedoras that religious Jews of that time favored.
