The Choice

Edith Eger Rider €11.99

In 1944, when she was just 16, Edith Eger was arrested with her mother, father and sister Magda, and sent to Auschwitz. Her parents were murdered immediately. Edith, a talented dancer, caught the eye of Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor known as the Angel of Death, and she survived. American GIs liberated her and Magda in 1945. Edith’s bestselling memoir recounts her fight for survival, not only during her time as a prisoner, but throughout the years afterwards. She came to terms with her experiences and used them to help others in her work as a psychologist. Now 90, she continues to work and dance and insists that, however terrible the events of the past, we can choose how we live now.
