If you’ve been following the news, you’ve probably seen that Bonne Maman jam is flying off shelves and it’s due to a Twitter thread that’s going viral. Last week, a New Jersey man was at a grocery store and an older woman was reaching for a jar of Bonne Maman jam when she revealed to him that she was a Holocaust survivor and that the family that owns the company hid her family from the Nazis in Paris.
Incident in a NJ Supermarket

At the supermarket today, I found a small, elderly woman standing in front of a high shelf holding @BonneMamanUS preserves. She was having trouble finding the flavor she wanted because the jars were set back on the shelf.
This story hasn’t been confirmed by Bonne Maman as they’ve elected to remain private but according to The Times of Isreal, Bonne Maman was founded in 1971 by members of the Gervoson family and is based in Biars-sur-Cère, a town in southern France. We certainly hope that this story proves true but you’ll have to decide for yourself — maybe over a nice, warm muffin!
