Mimi Nichter was 20-years-old when she was on TWA flight 741 to JFK after spending her summer on a kibbutz in Israel. But her flight was hijacked and redirected to Jordan where passengers were held captive for six days in unimaginable conditions. Most were sent home, but Mimi, falsely accused of being an Israeli soldier, was held hostage along with 31 others. This is Mimi's story of survival and courage as she and the others hostages navigated the uncharted waters of how to stay alive and find their way home. #Hostage recounts Mimi's dramatic time as a hostage, her release, and the aftermath of when she returned home. She was never the same, plagued with terrifying memories and PTSD that has haunted her for much of her life. She backpacked across Africa and Asia trying to release the trauma, but it was only buried deep inside of her until finally, she wrote about it. "Hostage" is her gift to herself and others facing unimaginable circumstances and coming out a survivor. Please find my full conversation with #
