author - Pequena biografia
- Dorit Whiteman, née Bader, was born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria. Her father was a physician and her mother Lily held a doctorate in chemistry, was an accomplished pianist, and ran a renowned girls' school. In 1938, the family escaped the Nazis to England with nothing but an overnight bag each. In London, her mother supported the family by working as a maid. Dorit won a scholarship to attend boarding school in Kent, but was evacuated at the outbreak of World War II to the countryside, where she lived in a bricklayer's primitive house. In 1941, she and her family finally received visas to emigrate to the USA. Dorit attended high school in New York City, then earned a B.A. from the University of Georgia and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at New York University. While at NYU, she met Martin Whiteman, her future husband, also a clinical psychology student. They married and had two daughters. In addition to her private psychology practice, Dr. Whiteman is a public speaker and author of several books about the Holocaust.
