The Most Powerful Choice with Holocaust Survivor, Dr. Edith Eger
Description
Last week was Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 76th anniversary of Auschwitz’ liberation. Now more than ever it is necessary to share stories of Holocaust survivors so that history may never repeat itself. Today’s episode shares the story of one woman’s resilience, strength, determination and ability to create hope from hopelessness. Best-selling author, world renowned psychologist and PTSD expert, and Auschwitz survivor, Dr. Edith Eger, was only 16 when she was thrown in a concentration camp, spending eight months starved, tortured, beaten and humiliated by Nazis. She credits her survival to her mother’s parting words, “No one can take away from you what you've put in your mind.” Dr. Eger’s absolute truth is that she is a survivor who never allowed herself to be a victim or a prisoner of her own mind. Listen to learn all about her awe inspiring resilience and how she found hope in the darkest of places.
