Ann Kirschner

Ann Kirschner is a native New Yorker and writer of wide-ranging interests. Her first book, SALA'S GIFT, (Simon and Schuster, 2006), tells the story of her mother's wartime rescue of letters from Nazi labor camps, and has been published in seven languages, and inspired Arlene Hutton's play, LETTERS TO SALA. She stumbled on the story of Josephine Earp when a friend asked her why Wyatt Earp was buried in a Jewish cemetery. And that led to her latest book, LADY AT THE OK CORRAL, now available on Amazon. She is also an innovator in education, media, and technology, whose career spans an unusual range of experiences and organizations. She began as a lecturer in Victorian literature at Princeton University, where she earned her Ph.D. As an entrepreneur, her five start-up businesses include PRIMETIME 24, NFL.COM, and FATHOM. Ann Kirschner is the Dean of Macaulay Honors College of The City University of New York.
