Join us for this online discussion with the author, Anna Salton Eisen. Anna was an adult when she finally broke her parents’ silence about their Holocaust experiences. That silence, which they hoped would protect their children, became a burden for Anna. In this heart-wrenching memoir, she recounts her accidental discovery, as a youth, of two watercolor paintings by her father that depict the horrors of the Holocaust. She then set out in secret to uncover the truth about his past. Only years later, after she confronted her father about the importance of sharing his story, did he relent and join her on what would become a healing journey. In Pillar of Salt, she combines the meticulous work of an archaeologist with the compassion of a daughter, courageously embracing her legacy as a second-generation descendant of Holocaust survivors.
