Description:
Anna Salton Eisen was an adult when she finally broke her parents’ silence about their Holocaust experiences. In her new memoir, Pillar of Salt: A Daughter’s Life in the Shadow of the Holocaust, Anna combines the meticulous research of a scholar with the compassion of a daughter, courageously embracing her legacy as a second-generation survivor. She will share her discoveries as she delves into the secrets of her father’s past as a Holocaust survivor of ten concentration camps and the emotional journey she took with him to Poland.
The presentation includes her father’s Holocaust artwork, original documents from the Arolsen Nazi Archives, and the surprising reunion of Anna with families of her father’s fellow concentration camp prisoners. A teaser will be shown of an upcoming documentary film based on Pillar of Salt
and her father’s memoir The 23rd Psalm that she co-authored.

Description:
For as long as there has been war, mothers have risked their lives to protect their children. In Nazi-occupied Poland, Olga Litman did everything she could to save her daughters as they were hunted by the Germans. They moved between towns, hid with farmers, and took on false identities. When a man discovered that Olga and her young daughters, Halina and Ewa, were Jewish, she bargained with him, giving away every last belonging and appealing to his conscience. “I don't know anybody who was as brave as my mother when it came to her children,” Halina recalled. Discover stories of mothers’ devotion during the Holocaust and sacrifices mothers are making today in Ukraine.
GuestsHalina Litman Yasharoff Peabody, Holocaust survivor and USHMM volunteer

Description:
Bring your lunch and enjoy a special brown bag luncheon with Anna Salton Eisen, daughter of a Holocaust survivor and the author of Pillar of Salt. Eisen will chat with Friends of the Boniuk Library about her book. Copies of the book will be on sale in the museum store. Get your copy signed in the library after lunch.
On January 15, Anna Salton Eisen watched as four members of Congregation Beth Israel, the synagogue she helped found in 1998, were held hostage for 11 hours. This was not the first time Eisen had close ties to an antisemitic tragedy—her parents are both Holocaust survivors and her son attended the University of Virginia where Charlottesville’s “Unite the Right” rally occurred—but the attack strengthened her conviction that “the Holocaust itself was not enough to end antisemitism.” - Momentmag.com
The library will provide coffee, tea, soda, and water.
Register and join the Friends of the Boniuk Library to receive invitations to exclusive events and directly support the library.
Please call 713-527-1610 for more information. If you need any special accommodation to participate, please notify the library at least 2 weeks in advance.

Description:
Join
the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Holocaust Museum Houston for an online panel discussion
that explores the power of personal narrative and personal identity as a
tool for teaching and understanding history. This discussion will be
anchored by the new documentary Undeniable: The Truth to Remember —
and it will feature local Holocaust survivor Ruth Steinfeld and Houston
high school teacher Laporche Abram, who are at the center of the film.
Along with an educator-leader from Facing History and Ourselves, we’ll
examine the ways in which teaching and learning history can help combat
intolerance, hate, and bigotry.
You are invited to watch Undeniable: The Truth to Remember in advance of this discussion. The
documentary features five Holocaust survivors who share their
remarkable stories with a diverse group of students from a Texas high
school. The personal remembrances of these survivors, along with the
dedicated work of their history teacher — grounded in the principles of
being an upstander — lead these Texas teenagers on a journey of learning
and discovery.
Guest SpeakersLaporche Abram, Social Studies teacher, Hastings High School, Houston, TexasDaniel Braunfeld, Associate Program Director, Special Projects, Facing History and OurselvesRuth Steinfeld, Holocaust survivor and educator with the Holocaust Museum Houston, French Legion of Honor awardee

Description:
In one day in January 1942, Allan Firestone’s father was taken by Nazis and Ukrainian auxiliaries, then his mother, his sister, and her husband, all presumably murdered in a nearby forest. Allan was left with three surviving sisters. He was eight years old.
Nazi Germany occupied Allan’s hometown of Kołomyja, in present-day Ukraine, in summer 1941. Jews were forced into a ghetto and two more of his sisters were taken and never seen again. With the help of a family friend, Allan and his last surviving sister evaded the roundups and hid in an attic and a wardrobe before being liberated by the Soviet Army.
After the war, Allan attended school in Poland but, fearing antisemitic attacks, he, his sister, and her new husband fled, eventually settling in the US. There, Allan would learn for the first time what it meant to be Jewish and also feel safe in a classroom. Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to learn about Allan's traumatic losses and miraculous survival.
