The KTA is delighted to welcome Anna Salton Eisen (2G) who will share her journey to uncover her family’s incredible Holocaust past. Her father survived ten concentration camps. Her mother bravely rescued Jewish children. Anna will be joined by her son Aaron (3G) to discuss their coauthoring of the book Pillar of Salt: A Daughter’s Life in the Shadow of the Holocaust and the production of their upcoming documentary film.
As the daughter of two Holocaust survivors, Anna Salton Eisen has conducted extensive research into the Holocaust and spoken on that topic to hundreds of schools and community groups across the United States. She is the author of The 23rd Psalm: A Holocaust Memoir, The Twentieth Anniversary Edition (A National Jewish Book Awards Finalist in 2022) and Pillar of Salt: A Daughter’s Life in the Shadow of the Holocaust, as well as the executive producer of the upcoming documentary film In My Father’s Words based on both of her books.
Aaron Eisen is the son of Anna Salton Eisen. In addition to editing The 23rd Psalm and co-authoring Pillar of Salt, he is a producer on the documentary film In My Father’s Words.
