Choice. On Freedom and the Inner Strength of a Person

One of the strongest books about war and the inner strength of a person.

 In 1944, sixteen-year-old ballerina Edith Eger was sent with her family to Auschwitz. Just a few hours after her parents' demise, Nazi doctor Josef 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 from a pile of corpses.

 Torture, hunger, and the constant threat of death did not break Edith, and her inner world helped her find life-affirming strength and spiritual freedom. Thirty-five years after the war ended, becoming a renowned psychologist, Edith returned to Auschwitz to rid herself of the memories of the past and the guilt of survival. Edith interweaves events from her personal journey with touching stories of those she helped heal.

 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 provide support to generations of readers.
