#169: Holocaust Shadows III - The Survivor
We speak of 'Holocaust Survivors' without understanding what they survived, without knowing the trauma and guilt they carried.
A young 16-year-old girl (now 97 years old) was taken through the cruelty of Auschwitz - and asked by Mengele to decide the fate of her own mother.
How did she find the strength of mind? How did she become a beacon to others, learn to redefine freedom and turn her wounds into a source of hope?
And how should Tisha B'Av redefine our understanding of exile?
Chapters:
00:00 The Journey Begins: A Survivor's Tale

24:55 Life After Liberation: Struggles and Triumphs
28:05 Facing New Challenges: The Fight for a Future
28:10 The Decision to Leave
