A Journey of Survival
Episode 329
Monday, 2 March, 2026

Some stories don’t just recount history, they help us understand who we become in the aftermath of trauma. Today’s conversation. Mimi Nichter was just 20 years old when her flight from Israel to New York was hijacked and diverted to the Jordanian desert. It took Mimi more than 50 years to find the courage to tell this story. She invites us to reflect not only on trauma, but on the resilience required to survive it and the ways the past continues to shape who we are today. Mimi is the author of Hostage: A Memoir of Terrorism, Trauma, and Resilience.
