Meet Karen Treiger:
After 18 years of practicing law in Seattle, Karen felt an unmistakable call to explore the story of her in-laws, Sam and Esther Goldberg. Educated at Barnard College and New York University Law School --where she was editor-in-chief of NYU Law Review -- Treiger made the momentous decision to retire from her law practice and pull together the threads of a family story she had heard for many years.
The result of her three-year inquiry is the widely praised book, My Soul is Filled with Joy: A Holocaust Story. In it, Karen chronicles both Sam and Esther Goldberg's journey, including Sam’s escape from the death camp Treblinka, as well as her family’s experiences in Poland when they retraced the path from Treblinka to the pit in the Polish forest where Sam and Ester hid until their liberation. As Karen became invigorated and inspired by the people she encountered, Sam and Esther’s story became her story too.
Since the book’s publication, Karen has made it her mission to bring this compelling story to a wider audience.
What I love about Karen is that she left all the comfort of her safe life to embark on something that she felt she was called to do. Her story is a powerful example of what it looks like to listen to our intuition and to follow our heart. And in so doing she has created a platform dedicated to spreading a message of hope, kindness and love by taking a closer look at one of the most horrific tragedies that the world has ever known.
So if you have ever taken anything for granted in your life… ever found yourself wanting to be more grateful instead of getting caught up in the challenges of life… this is the episode for you!
