Book: The Choice

-

I’m currently reading Edith Eger’s The Choice. I’m fascinated with the concentrat­ion camps from World War II. I’ve been to Auschwitz three times and I think that everyone should visit there at least once to remind themselves what humanity is capable of. Eger brings the reader on an in-depth journey of her time in Auschwitz but makes particular reference to her time after the war ended and her long journey back to finding herself. “We can choose what the horror teaches us. To become bitter in our grief and fear… Or to hold on to the childlike part of us, the lively and curious part, the part that is innocent.”
