There's many things from that conversation that have never left me, Ryan.
She said, the final thing my mother said to me, Edith, nobody can ever take from you the contents that you put inside your own mind.

had a beautiful dress on, the orchestra was playing, the crowd were cheering.

She said to me, Rangan, I have lived in Auschwitz and I can tell you the greatest prison is the prison you create inside your own mind.
