About the Speaker:

Dr. Edith Eger was born in Hungary. In 1944, she and her family were sent by the Nazis to the Auschwitz death camp. Both of her parents died there. Surviving Auschwitz, Dr. Eger was among a transport of prisoners sent by the Nazis to the Gunskirken camp in Austria. The camp was liberated by the U.S. Army in May, 1945. She was 17 years old.

Today, Dr. Eger is a world-renowned clinical psychologist and motivational speaker. She holds a faculty appointment at the University of California, San Diego. Though regularly called upon to share her Holocaust story at venues throughout the world, she blends it with a positive message of healing. Her message is one of discarding our self-imposed limitations and tapping into our own full potential. According to Dr. Eger, "healing is a life-long journey."

Using her past as a powerful analogy, she inspires people to tap their full potential and shape their very best destinies!

"Everything in life is an opportunity. When you survive hardship, you have the chance to be stronger and more appreciative. It's not an overnight process, but it is something we all can do." -Edith Eger
