Holocaust Survivor Dr. Edith Eger Tells Her Story

Edith Eger was just 16 years old when she was sent to Auschwitz, but what she saw there remained a secret for many years. Now an internationally renowned psychologist, Edith has devoted her life to helping heal people’s traumas. Edith and her daughter Marianne Engle join the show to discuss Edith's bestselling book "The Choice," the power of forgiveness, and why telling her story set her free.
