Edith Eger
At age sixteen Edith Eger and her family were taken to Auschwitz. Separated from her mother and father, Edith and her sister Magda survived the atrocities of the death camp. Edith’s talents in dance and gymnastics made her a favorite of the infamous Angel of Death, Dr. Josef Mengele. This, coupled with her focus on her mother’s words, “Just remember, no one can take away from you what you've put in your mind,” helped see Edith through the war.

In 1949 Eger emigrated to the United States, where she earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and became an expert on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Author of The Choice, Edith counsels on forgiveness, love, and healing. Her message is that you can choose to be joyful and free by liberating yourself from the prisons you construct in your mind.
