Holocaust to Healing-
Closing the Circle
The autobiography of Kati Preston, Holocaust & cancer survivor mentor, public speaker, and campaigner against prejudice.
The book starting at the outset of World War II spans seven decades across seven countries: Hungary (Transylvania), Israel, France, Great Britain, Italy, Portugal & the U.S.A. It is a book that deftly chronicles love, persecution, triumph, adversity, turmoil, peace, affairs, partings, collaborations, betrayals, births and deaths. It is a veritable history lesson told with much humor, insights, incisiveness and empathy. She knew and interacted with many a famous person in multiple countries, in multiple scenarios. Now in her eighties she is an indefatigable and much sought after inspirational speaker to the younger generation – her message always that of love, tolerance, acceptance and inclusiveness given the experiences to the contrary she experienced firsthand.
​ HIDDEN, a graphic novel
HIDDEN is the compelling story told from the child’s perspective of Kati Preston, who lost her extended Jewish family in the Holocaust and was saved when she was 5 years old. It is beautifully illustrated in color as a graphic novel. Kati Preston was born in Hungary in 1939, the only child born to a Jewish father and a Catholic mother. Twenty-eight members of Kati’s Jewish family perished in Auschwitz.
Kati's Mission:
After successful careers as a journalist, international fashion designer, emergency medical technician (EMT) and owner of an educational theater company, Kati realized that what matters most is sharing her story of survival in order to educate others of the devastating consequences of hate and prejudice
