The Choice |
Probably the most powerful book I have ever read! Aged sixteen, the author entered Auschwitz; when it was liberated she was found, left for dead and with a broken back, in a pile of bodies. The book is not a memoir of horror but of hope and of the choices we have that nothing and no one can take from us. It is beautifully written and its message is central to all people throughout their lives. Aged 90 and a Psychologist she is still working on herself and others. Read and re-read.

The Choice: A true story of hope |
This book is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit over unimaginable horror and adversity. Rescued by an American soldier from under a pile of bodies in Auschwitz she rebuilt her life in the USA to become a top psychologist and devoted her life to healing the bruised lives of others. One can only marvel at such a life which makes ones own life's problems shrink to the size of a pinhead. Thank you Edith Eger for this introduction to your life and work - reading it has been an education . . .
