It's Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, 2025. In the dark shadow of October 7th, and in the 18th month of the Israel-Hamas War, this day is wrought with profound significance & reflection.

The world has exploded in antisemitic convulsions that are startlingly reminiscent of Nazi Germany. And meanwhile in Berlin, one woman literally stands alone, strong, and unshakable in support of Israel, the Jewish People...and decency.

Neither Jewish nor Israeli, Karoline Preisler has taken it upon herself to bravely advocate for the hostages, the victims of 10/7, and the Jewish State...right in the middle of the weekly violent anti-Israel protests. As aggressive protestors scream for the genocide of Jews and the destruction of the Jewish State, Karoline stands calmly and resolutely, holding flowers and signs: "Believe Israeli Women" "Until The Last Hostage" "Rape Is Not Resistance" "Fight Antisemitism" and more.

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Karoline Preisler discuss Karoline's astounding dedication, passionate advocacy, and superhuman ability to stand tall in a world that seems determined to knock her down.

If you are a yogi or yogini who is afraid to speak up for what you believe in you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about doing what is right simply because it is right, being brave even when it's scary, and committing your life to creating a better, kinder world.
