This one’s inspiring, GISTer. On this very special episode of The GIST of It, Associate Managing Editor Lauren Tuiskula sits down with author, swimmer, and retired therapist Hendrika de Vries ahead of the release of her memoir, “Open Turns.” de Vries fled Nazi-occupied Amsterdam as a child and started a new life as an immigrant in Australia, where becoming an athlete helped her re-discover her sense of self amid global and internal turmoil.
