Max Eisen is a renowned Holocaust educator. Despite having endured the horrors of living in a concentration camp in his youth, he has become a successful entrepreneur, author and public speaker who has travelled the world with his message of hope. His critically acclaimed memoir written to honour his father’s last words has touched the hearts and minds of the next generation, and serves as the backdrop for his larger message: while racism and injustice plague humanity, they can be overcome by practicing the values of freedom, democracy, love and tolerance.
