We love to learn about the lives of remarkable people and find out how they coped during difficult times. On this episode, we'll hear about some of the unsung heroines of World War Two—the brave young Jewish women in the ghettos of the Nazi occupation in Poland. They saw and acknowledged the truth of their time and risk their lives in the fight for justice and freedom.

Joining us is author Judy Batalion, who did painstaking research in writing the new book, The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos. It's a story that's so inspirational, fascinating and important that Steven Spielberg has optioned it for a major motion picture.

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor back to our show. Dr. Taylor has given one of the most popular TED talks of all time entitled, My Stroke of Insight, which has had more than 27 and a half million views. She is a Harvard-trained brain scientist who studied her own stroke, as it happened, back in 1996. She knew what was happening as she watched her brain functions—motion, speech, memory and self-awareness—shut down, one by one.

Dr. Taylor spent eight years recovering her ability to think, walk, and talk. She has become an advocate for stroke recovery and for the possibility of coming back from brain injury stronger than before. She's the author of the best-selling memoir, My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey. And, she's the author of the new book, Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life.
