À propos de cet audio
What happens when a little girl grows up under the shadow of war—and later crosses continents to start over with an American soldier?
In this deeply moving episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Lee, whose life began in Nazi Germany, shaped by wartime uncertainty, personal loss, and a mother’s unshakable resilience. Lee shares powerful reflections of her childhood during World War II, her family’s escape to Switzerland, and the extraordinary journey that led her to love, motherhood, and a life between two very different worlds.
From narrowly escaping air raids to navigating culture shock in post-war America, Lee’s memories are filled with grace, humor, and hard-earned wisdom. This episode is a rare opportunity to hear a first-hand account of history—not from the headlines, but from the heart.
