“I feel most comfortable and most at ease, and it’s the thing that comes the most naturally for me to be in a classroom,” she said. “It’s a real connection to what I used to be like and what my life was before.”She counts herself lucky to have been held in an apartment in conditions much better than the hostages kept in

Still, during her captivity, Atzili had no idea whether her family had survived.A handprint is seen on a wall damaged during the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023, at the house of Liat Atzili and her slain husband in Kibbutz Nir Oz, Israel, Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024.

Next month, Atzili hopes to return to one of her passions, giving tours at Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust Museum. She understands the parallels people want to draw between the Holocaust and what happened to her, but the reality in the Middle East is different, she said.“I saw what Dude Perfect was doing, and then Mr. Beast, and they grew the channels like crazy, and encapsulated a massive audience, and I was like, ‘Man, I’m a sports player. I’m a professional. Like, why can’t I do that?’” DeChambeau said. “So I took it upon myself — I found the right team, got started, and five years later, here we are.”
