- A native of Hungary, Edith Eva Eger was just a young teenager in 1944 when she experienced one of the worst evils the human race has ever known. As a Jew living in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe, she and her family were sent to Auschwitz, the heinous death camp. Her parents lost their lives there. Toward the end of the war Edith and other prisoners had been moved to Austria. On May 4, 1945 a young American soldier noticed her hand moving slightly amongst a number of dead bodies. He quickly summoned medical help and brought her back from the brink of death.
After the war Edith moved to Czechoslovakia where she met the man she would marry. In 1949 they moved to the United States. In 1969 she received her degree in Psychology from the University of Texas, El Paso. She then pursued her doctoral internship at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Fort Bliss, Texas.
Dr. Eger is a prolific author and a member of several professional associations. She has a clinical practice in La Jolla, California and holds a faculty appointment at the University of California, San Diego.

Edith Eger is a national treasure and must be protected at all cost! 😊
I finished her book. It gave me the ability to self reflect. She is a very inspiring courages lady.
You are so fortunate to have had the honor to have her on your show to interview!
Eloquent, articulate, beautiful, poised and incredibly insightful and strong are only a few adjectives to describe this incredible lady. I am humbled by her words and experiences.
👑🌟👑Dr. Eger is a Queen among ladies.
Amazingly proud of her! 🥰😊
Love from Hungary 🇭🇺
Finally, an interview who is addressing her properly! Dr Eger is amazing!
What a privilege to hear from the amazing, courageous woman.
Just finished her book ,,,amazing inspirational lady,,,,,,💚
Started reading her amazing book can't put it down what an inspiration
Your touching my heart and helping me
She's such an inspiration, just finished reading Dr. Edith book it's amazing and fascinating!
She is pure light!
She is a true testimony of her words, she must have been interviewed hundreds of times. there are questions she must have gotten asked over and over, she takes a breath before answering. The take from this for me... is not what happens to you, but what you choose to do about yourself, to release the stories that are attached via emotions. that we take as our identity. we can be anything (note to self- Then be something good, be something positive, joyous and extraordinary)
Thank God for Edith Eger she has helped me with these videos identify and make peace ✌🏿 with my cherished wound.
I am puzzled by the 7 thumbs down. We all have our opinions, likes, and dislikes, but how can people not see value in what Edith has to say? I admire the path she chose in life. I think her trajectory is admirable and we are all lucky to learn from what she has been through. Most people her age are not thinking about writing a book. They are retired and don't really want to revisit old wounds through writing a book or talking to an audience. Thanks to Edith we have one more person who chose to make a difference and didn't think twice about her age.
The motivation may not always be about the value of Ediths words- might be not enjoying interviewer style or sound or quality of the video and/or many other logical and illogical reasons 😊
@@Azlj77Cl Exactly. I think this woman and her story is incredible, but the interviewer could have been more empathetic and thoughtful. She constantly interrupts and cuts Edith off just when she is in the middle of expressing her feelings
The thumbs down are for the utterly dreadful so-called interviewer.
@@alinaemery9239 I completely agree. One of Dr. Eger's best interviewers has been Marie Forleo. A good interviewer should be interested and curious. The interviewer should speak less not more, definitely not the case here.
Who knows?
Heard her speak in person. She blessed me!
She is so poise and so impeccable, a true model human being...
What a wise woman with knowing and Knowledge that comes from wisdom from experiential learning. Thank you Edith for your courage to feel !
Wonderful and inspiring. Thank you Dr. Eger.
She is amazing. Loved her book!
Amazing lady....
Excelente lección de vida, para quienes personas como yo que necesitamos testimonios de valentia y amor :-)
Such an inspiration!! Thank You!!
Enjoyed this interview.
Beautiful soul God bless her
I took a history class in college last year. I chose to do a research about Dacau concentration camp. The more I researched the more horrified I become, the professor always told us before class that we were going to see many horrible films and to preapare our selves
😊
I got chills hearing her tell her story. I was victimized but I wasn’t a victim.
I love that question and i admire you so much
I really need to listen and listen to this
I just finished her book and it did help me a lot
Im confused as to why her mother and sisters would call her ugly and say she had no looks. She looked like a young pretty girl to me in her old photos
Sweetie where are you from? Im asking because there's places in Europe where women are so beautiful that Barbie is a monster compare to the beauty of these women
@@francisconava7639 I'm from the u.s
State of florida
Women are jealous
@@salemsalem1440 Her mother was an embittered, negative woman.
I actually know a mother like her who says things like her mother said: Great you have brains because you don't have looks. Shaming.
Honestly she is still very pretty now, all things considered.
a lovely lady. and quite a story.
she has and probably always had a powerful inner spirit that keeps her firing and operating well. not everybody has that.
What an amazing story. Thank you so much for sharing.
Dear Dr. Edith, I pray to God that Jesus will show up to you as well, and will guide you to Him. I pray this in Jesus’s Holy Name, Amen. 🙏💖
She is SO amazing and beautiful
She is beautiful inside and out.
"While there is no way to compensate for an atrocity, there is a way to transcend it, by making it a gift to others. The trauma is redeemed only when it becomes the sources of a survivor’s mission." "Traumatic events destroy the sustaining bonds between individual and community. Those who have survived learn that their sense of self, of worth, of humanity, depends upon a feeling of connection with others. The solidarity of a group provides the strongest protection against terror and despair, and the strongest antidote to traumatic experience. Trauma isolates; the group re-creates a sense of belonging. Trauma shames and stigmatizes; the group bears witness and affirms. Trauma degrades the victim; the group exalts her. Trauma dehumanizes the victim; the group restores her humanity." "Repeatedly in the testimony of survivors there comes a moment when a sense of connection is restored by another person’s unaffected display of generosity. Something in herself that the victim believes to be irretrievably destroyed -- faith, decency, courage -- is reawakened by an example of common altruism. Mirrored in the actions of others, the survivor recognizes and reclaims a lost part of herself. At that moment, the survivor begins to rejoin the human commonality..." ~ Judith Lewis Herman
"Don't be afraid of your despair. Be gentle with yourself. Take your time with this journey. Let despair guide you to the self you need to birth, the meaning you need to make, the world you need to serve. Let it reward you with a resilient faith in life." ~ Miriam Greenspan
"In your wound lies your soul's deepest desires." ~ James Hillman
"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream." ~ Paulo Coelho
"We are born in relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we can be healed in relationship." ~ Harville Hendrix
"The degree to which I can create relationships, which facilitate the growth of others as separate persons, is a measure of the growth I have achieved in myself." ~ Carl Rogers
“Love is the will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.” ~ Scott Peck
"Courage is the measure of our heartfelt participation with life, with another, with a community, a work; a future. To be courageous is not necessarily to go anywhere or do anything except to make conscious those things we already feel deeply and then to live through the unending vulnerabilities of those consequences." ~ David Whyte
"We need the compassion and the courage to change the conditions that support our suffering. Those conditions are things like ignorance, bitterness, negligence, clinging, and holding on." "We can learn the art of fierce compassion - redefining strength, deconstructing isolation and renewing a sense of community, practicing letting go of rigid us-vs.-them thinking - while cultivating power and clarity in response to difficult situations." "Love and compassion don't at all have to make us weak, or lead us to losing discernment and vision. We just have to learn how to find them. And see, in truth, what they bring us." ~ Sharon Salzberg
"When we give in the world what we want the most, we heal the broken part inside each of us." ~ Eve Ensler
“If the light is in your heart, you will find your way home." ~ Rumi
It's a shame that Hungary has gotten so nationalistic and right wing. This lady's lesson is sadly lost on them.
It's wonderful! Hungary's current 'right wing' stance (LOL!), has nothing to do with the Holocaust. Hungary just doesn't want to accept muslim refugees coming into their country because they see what happens to other countries that do take in large numbers. Hungary wants to keep their religion and culture strong. Good on them!
Shes beautiful young and older
terrible riporter...
Dear Edith
You were brought up in a Hungarian home where not being beautiful is considered a criminal offense.
I was born in Budapest, so I am a graduate of this school.
Our parents allowed themselves to express any thing they felt like saying...poor people didn't get parenting lessons. Thank GD we live in times where parents can be educated.
Edith is amazing..till 120
