With great sadness, we received information of the passing of Edith Eva Eger, an Auschwitz Survivor.
Edith was born on 29 September 1927 in a Jewish family in Budapest. She was the youngest daughter of Lajos and Ilona Elefánt.
She attended a gymnasium and took ballet lessons. She was a member of the Hungarian Olympic gymnastics team. In 1942, the Hungarian government enacted new anti-Jewish laws, and she was removed from the gymnastics team.
In March 1944, after Nazi Germany installed a pro-German regime in Hungary, Edith Eger was forced to live in the Kassa (Košice) ghetto with her parents and her sister Magda. In May of that year, they were deported to Auschwitz. She was separated from her mother, who was murdered in a gas chamber.
In November 1944, Edith and Magda were consigned to ammunition trains and slave labor. In May 1945, they were liberated from Gunskirchen - one of the subcamps of Mauthausen.
After the war, Edith Eger moved to the United States. She became a psychologist and a specialist in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Edith Eger was 98 years old.
'God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son'

The Paschal candle, representing the light of the risen Christ, has been blessed and is burning in Westminster Abbey this Holy Saturday.

‘God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’
Wishing you and your family a solemn and reflective Good Friday.
Palm Sunday marks Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, welcomed with palm branches and cries of “Hosanna!” It begins Holy Week - a time of reflection leading to the hope of Easter.
