TheChoice

At the age of sixteen, Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. Nazi officer Dr. Josef Mengele forced Edie to dance for his amusement and her survival just hours after her parents were killed. However, in 1945, when American troops liberated the camps, Edie was pulled from a pile of corpses.

For decades, Edie struggled with flashbacks and survivors guilt. She was determined to stay silent and hide from her past. It was only thirty-five years later, when she returned to Auschwitz, that she was finally able to forgive the one person she'd been unable to forgive - herself. Edie weaves her remarkable personal journey with the moving stories of those she has helped heal.

The Choice explores how we can be imprisoned in our own minds and shows us how to find the key to freedom. This life-changing book provides hope and comfort to generations of readers.
