"Has my generation taught the youth well enough to prevent another Holocaust from occurring? Or will our hard-won freedom capsize in a new sea of hate?" pg 225
This book has me all in my feelings. Genocide is so disgusting and I wish we as a humanity would be better and stop hurting those of our own kind. I am thankful to have read this book and know Dr. Edith Eger's story. I thought it was smart how she broke the book down into Prison, Escape, Freedom, and Healing. She has lived such a long life and shows so much wisdom throughout this book. The idea that we get the choice to choose how we move forward from trauma or challenges in general is something I want to carry with me. No one can take what is in your mind. This book is so much more than a story of tragedies but a story of coming of age, of growing through the thickest storm. Where you see you parents as just human beings with fears. I find it amazing that Dr. Eger can hold so much forgiveness in herself and can only wish that I can learn to do the same. To step out of the past and move forward. I would've loved to hear more about Dr. Edith and Marianne's mother-daughter relationship especially after learning about her's with her mother. I also like that she included some cases from her career. I found that a lot of the couples also were imprisoned by the social norms pushed on them and I hope that I can overcome those that are placed on me and just be happy,

"Revenge perpetuates the cycle of hate. It keeps the hate circling on and on. When we seek revenge even nonviolent revenge we are revolving not evolving" pg 213
"Doing what is right is rarely the same as doing what is safe" pg 255

The most intriguing part of this autobiography of Edith Eger was her contact with Viktor Frankl. Not bad by any means, but not that interesting overall.
This book was easy to connect to, and got me thinking about my own ptsd. I really loved getting to see how vastly different traumas affect people in such similar ways. I really connected with how she pushed against healing for so long and how there would be stopping points where she thought she had healed but then something inexplicably always happened to show her that she hadn’t yet. I also push against healing pretty hard, so hearing it normalized in a healing person was reassuring. I really loved hearing all of the stories in this, they were all so incredibly powerful and moving.
