Edith Eger, your audience probably know who she is.
Edith, when she was 16 years old, growing up in Eastern Europe, she was going for a date with her boyfriend that night.
She was trying to think about what dress is she going to wear and her family get a knock on the door.
Her sister, her and her two parents get put on a train to Auschwitz.
Within two hours of getting there, both of her parents are murdered.
An hour or two later, she as a 16-year-old girl gets asked to dance for the senior prison guards.
