THE AWARDWINNING INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
'Eger's remarkable spirit shines through in every word' Stylist
In 1944, sixteen-year-old Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. There she endured unimaginable experiences, including being made to dance for the infamous Josef Mengele. Over the coming months, her bravery helped her sister to survive and led to her bunkmates rescuing her during a death march. When their camp was finally liberated, Edith was pulled from a pile of bodies, barely alive.
In The Choice, Edith Eger shares her life, remarkable because her years in the concentration camp encouraged her to find a hope and resilience that most of us would never think was possible. It wasn't easy but, as she tried to find a future for herself after the Second World War, partly by helping many others through their own versions of trauma, she discovered an honesty, strength and empowerment within herself that makes for a memorable and inspiring read.
Compelling, truly remarkable, and ultimately triumphant, The Choice is the unforgettable memoir of a woman who has seen the worst and lived the best.

Edith was a fresh-faced ballet student when Hitler occupied Hungry and she was sent to Auschwitz. Her parents did not survive, but Edith made it through the hellish conditions. After the war, Edith immigrates to America, where she studies to be a clinical psychologist and becomes an eminent force in her field. Part self help manual, part harrowing biography, The Choice is a must read for everyone. - Shannon (QBD)
