Obstetrician Dr. Gisella Perl was a Hungarian Jew and an Auschwitz survivor. At Auschwitz she aborted hundreds of Jewish women because the rules of the camp ordered immediate death for pregnant women. She lost her husband, her father, her son, everything. She survived the war wracked by guilt and remorse and even tried to kill herself.
But she pulled through and returned to medical practice and became a deliver babies and a bringer of life in New York and in Israel, where she continued to live. She has delivered thousands of babies and prays before every delivery, “God you owe me a life, a living baby.”
It is not what happens to us but how we happen to life.
