The Jack P. Eisner Institute for Holocaust Studies at CUNY presents Holocaust survivor Jack Eisner delivering a lecture on U.S. perspectives of the Holocaust in the decades following the war.

Born in Warsaw, in 1925, Jack Eisner was a Holocaust survivor, entrepreneur, and author. He took part in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and survived the concentration camps in Majdanek and Flossenbürg. After being forced on a death march that many prisoners did not survive, he was liberated by U.S. troops in 1945. He founded the Children's Memorial at the Jewish Cemetery in Warsaw in memory of the 1.5 million Jewish children who were murdered, helped to organize the first concert with the Vatican commemorating the Holocaust, and published his experiences in The Survivor and The Happy Boys. The movie War and Love and the play The Survivor were both based on his autobiographical experiences. He also lectured at schools on the uniqueness of the Holocaust and antisemitism.
