Dr. Edie Eger


Dr. Edie Eger, Ph.D, public speaker, mom, grandma, and Holocaust survivor. I've heard her speak a number of times and I'm still so impressed by her story. Sent to Auschwitz as a teen, she survived by turning cartwheels for the guards. Later, she danced for Dr. Mengele himself and along with her sister, survived the war to have children, grandchildren and grandchildren. At 85, the woman can still kick her leg up over her head and joke with 11 year olds about the food they eat. Tremendous spirit.
