Both of my grandmothers used the terms "zwieback" and "graham crackers"
interchangeably. Graham cracker crusts were pretty much cannonical in
both my family and my husband's. My first attempt at a homemade new
york-style cheese cake with the traditional crust met with great
acclaim, except for the crust. Given that a graham cracker crust is
substantially less trouble, that's all I've used since then.
