#169: Holocaust Shadows III - The Survivor


Listen Later

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. 
  1. 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? 

  2. And how should Tisha B'Av redefine our understanding of exile?
