When I was in high school in Longview Washington, I had a German teacher who was a concentration camp survivor during World War two in Latvia. She has the mark on her arm. I remember her showing it to us in our class. I learned a lot from this teacher. She was only 4 feet tall and tough as nail. She had passion for learning, and she often told us she was a lifetime learner. I respected her so much. Reading “The Choice” by Edith Eva Eger about how she endured and survived a concentration camp in Hungry and used this pain and PTSD to become a psychologist who worked with soldiers with PTSD and other traumatic issues from war says a lot about her. This is a powerful book, and I am glad that I chose to read this book.
Reading this book puts a lot of things into perspective, such as, realizing that every choice we make can empower us or it can drain us into feeble weak people who become bitter and angry and sicker emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I don’t know about you, but I was to be strong in all these areas.
