Choice - Edith Eva Eger softcover 320 pages

One of the most powerful books about war and the inner strength of man.

In 1944, sixteen-year-old ballerina Edith Eger was sent with her family to Auschwitz. Just hours after her parents were killed, Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele forced Edith to dance for his own amusement and her survival. Edith and her sister survived all the horrors of Auschwitz, Mauthausen and Gunskirchen - death camps. On May 4, 1945, Edith, barely alive, was pulled out of a pile of corpses.

Torture, hunger and the constant threat of death did not break Edith, and her inner world helped her gain life-affirming strength and spiritual freedom. 35 years after the end of the war, having become a famous psychologist, Edith returned to Auschwitz to rid herself of memories of the past and survivor's guilt. Edith alternates the events of her personal journey with touching stories of those whom she herself helped to recover.

This book is an unforgettable story of survival and healing, a story of liberation and the strength of the human spirit. It shows that we can always choose what life teaches us and how to relate to what is happening. This is a book that will change lives and empower generations of readers.
