  Psychologist Edith (Edie) Eger is one of the few living Holocaust survivors. After a happy childhood in Hungary, the Nazis sent her family to Auschwitz in 1944 when she was 16.  After decades struggling with survivor's guilt, Edie - who lives in California - now helps people overcome victimhood and rediscover the joy and self-love she says we are all born with.
