“Anna Salton Eisen inspires me. Antisemitism and Holocaust denial are real. Quality Holocaust education is necessary. By sharing her family stories and personal journey with honesty and clarity, she illuminates our past and helps us recognize the truth and challenge of the Holocaust.

–Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, Rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas and held hostage in January during an antisemitic attack on his congregation

“Anna Salton Eisen’s important exploration of her Holocaust heritage is about building community, building connection, through history, through your family, through your story.”

–Deb Liu, CEO Ancestry.com

“A true and beautiful story of a daughter’s quest to understand her parents’ haunted past, and to discover … the indissoluble nature of love and family. A powerful and poignant read.”
