For nearly fifty years, Sala Kirschner kept a secret: She had
survived five years as a slave in seven different Nazi work camps.
Living in America after the war, she kept hidden from her children
any hint of her epic, inhuman odyssey. She held on to more than 350
letters, photographs, and a diary without ever mentioning them.
Only in 1991, on the eve of heart surgery, did she suddenly present
them to Ann, her daughter, and offer to answer any questions Ann
wished to ask.
When Sala first reported to a camp in Geppersdorf, Germany, at
the age of sixteen, she thought it would be for six weeks. Five
years later, she was still at a labor camp and only she and two of
her sisters remained alive of an extended family of fifty.
"Sala's Gift" is a heartbreaking, eye-opening story of survival
and love amidst history's worst nightmare.
