The past does not equal the future. Every second gives you a chance to create a new reality for yourself.
Imagine being just a child when the world around you turns into a nightmare. That's the reality Rena Quint faced. Born in 1935 in Poland, Rena was only three when the Nazis invaded her hometown. By the time she was seven, she had lost her mother and two older brothers to the horrors of Treblinka extermination camp. Rena herself was sent to a concentration camp with her father, where she had to pretend to be a boy to survive.
After her father's murder, she was left alone in a brutal world where survival was a daily battle. In this gripping episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Rena Quint, who shares her extraordinary story of resilience and hope. Despite enduring unimaginable trauma, Rena's spirit remained unbroken. She was adopted multiple times by Holocaust survivors, each of whom passed away shortly after due to their own poor health.
Finally, in 1946, she found a permanent home with a Jewish couple in the United States. Rena's journey is not just about surviving the Holocaust; it's about finding the strength to live life fully despite the scars of the past. She emphasizes that every second is an opportunity to create a new reality, and her story is a powerful reminder of the human spirit's capacity for resilience.
Throughout the interview, Rena dispels common misconceptions about the Holocaust and stresses the importance of remembering history to build a better future. Listeners will be moved by Rena's unwavering strength and inspired by her message of hope. This episode offers a poignant look at the impact of the Holocaust on survivors and underscores the importance of learning from history.
Tune in to hear Rena Quint's incredible story and discover how even in the darkest times, the human spirit can shine brightly.
