A native of Hungary, Dr Edith Eva Eger, best-selling author was just 16 years old when she experienced one of the worst evils the human race has ever known. As a Jew living in Nazi occupied Eastern Europe, she and her family were sent to Auschwitz, the heinous death camp.

Now, Dr. Eger is a sought-after clinical psychologist and lecturer, helping individuals discard their limitations, discover their powers of self-renewal, and achieve things they previously thought unattainable.

Join us for a talk and deep conversation, as she draws on her experiences during the holocaust to talk about how we respond, how to be a “survivor and never a victim of anything, anyone or any circumstance.”

Using her past as a powerful analogy, she inspires people to tap their full potential and shape their very best destinies. Her book, The Gift, Twelve Lessons to Save your Life will be released in September 2020.
