In 2026-2027 our filmmaking team is looking for opportunities to screen and engage audiences with the film.

Sala’s story in the camps has been told by her daughter, Ann Kirschner, in “Sala’s Gift”. The story of her letters is told in the play “Letters to Sala”, by Beth Hutton. Ann conducts online discussions with students and young people. Our film shows Sala as she faced the world - she continues to be an inspiration.

SALA reaches those thinking about the underpinnings of humanity — how compassion and connection can protect a sense of self in times of great trauma. We particularly hope to connect to teenage girls identifying with a young woman who lost her family and country.

Despite the Holocaust’s great erasure of identity, Sala remained insightful, generous and good-humored.
