This year’s Holocaust Learn and Remember exhibit, War of Ideas: Nazi Censorship and Book Burning, will also be available for viewing before and after Ms. Eisen’s presentation. Light kosher refreshments will be served and copies of Ms. Eisen’s book Pillar of Salt will be available for purchase.

Join San Antonio Public Libraries for the conclusion of this year’s Holocaust Learn and Remember Series. Hear from Anna Salton Eisen, an author and second-generation Holocaust survivor, as 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.
