Hilda Eisen (née Gimpel; April 25, 1917 – November 22, 2017) was a Polish-American businessperson, philanthropist, and Holocaust survivor.

Hilda Gimpel was born on April 25, 1917, in Izbica Kujawska, then part of the Kingdom of Poland (1917–1918).

[2] In 1939, Eisen and her first husband, David, were taken from their neighborhood, which was invaded by German soldiers and imprisoned in the Lublin Ghetto.

During her escape, a German soldier showed Eisen compassion by shooting lower than the high fence she was scrambling to get over.

Surviving for two winters, and forced to sleep on the ground, Eisen hoped a Russian officer would escort her to visit her husband's grave.

She died on November 22, 2017, and was survived by her daughters Ruth Eisen, Mary Cramer, and Francis Miller, eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

[4] Eisen sold eggs and raised chickens while her husband, Harry, also worked at a Vernon, California, hot dog factory cleaning meat barrels.

[2] She was a leader of the Lodzer Organization of Southern California, a group of Holocaust survivors who donate to Jewish charities in Israel and locally.

The couple lived for three years in refugee camps before sailing to New York City in May 1948 on the SS Marine Flasher.

[7] Eisen was interviewed about her experiences in the Holocaust by the USC Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education on June 18, 2001.
