The Choice

By Edith Eva Eger

At sixteen, Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz, where she endured unimaginable horrors, including being forced to dance for Dr. Josef Mengele hours after her parents' murder. Pulled from a pile of corpses during liberation, Eger spent decades struggling with survivor's guilt and trauma. Thirty-five years later, a return to Auschwitz allowed her to confront her past and achieve profound healing and self-forgiveness. In this *New York Times* Bestseller and award-winning memoir, *The Choice*, Dr. Eger weaves her remarkable personal journey with the moving stories of those she has helped. She explores how we can become imprisoned in our own minds and offers a powerful guide to finding freedom, resilience, and hope, inspiring readers to choose how they respond to life's challenges. Winner of the National Jewish Book Award and Christopher Award.
