Dr. Edith Eva Eger is an incredible woman. Incredible might be an understatement, actually. She’s phenomenal.

Fifteen years old, little Edith was forced from her home with her family, only to wind up an orphan. Auschwitz consumed her parents just as it almost consumed her. But, despite all odds, she and her sister Magda were discovered by American troops and pulled from a tangled mass of corpses, half alive and unable even to move.

From death’s doorstep to her very own psychotherapy office, Dr. Edith Eva Eger tells us the story of her survival, and the lessons she learned about human existence and suffering over the course of the 70 years since her liberation.

Agonizingly beautiful and painful, Dr. Eger shows us the healing that can be found from within the depths of trauma and struggle.
