'I'll be forever changed by her story' - Oprah Winfrey
'Extraordinary ... will stick with you long after you read it' - Bill Gates

'A masterpiece of holocaust literature. Her memoir, like her life, is extraordinary, harrowing and inspiring in equal measure' - The Times Literary Supplement
'I can't imagine a more important message for modern times. Eger's book is a triumph' - The New York Times
In 1944, sixteen-year-old ballerina Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. Separated from her parents on arrival, she endures unimaginable experiences, including being made to dance for the infamous Josef Mengele. When the camp is finally liberated, she is pulled from a pile of bodies, barely alive.
The horrors of the Holocaust didn't break Edith. In fact, they helped her learn to live again with a life-affirming strength and a truly remarkable resilience.
The Choice is her unforgettable story. It shows that hope can flower in the most unlikely places.
Customer Reviews
Heart wrenching and eye opening.
On how to survive, live and thrive no matter what happens in life.
Just amazing
Harrowing and amazing and inspiring
Fantastic read
How Edith has been able to forgive the atrocities she witnessed and survived and then go on to be so inspirational is quite beyond me. I had not realised that discrimination of the Jewish people was so widespread - not just the nazis. Then to be spat upon by children is terrible. How can humans treat other humans so badly. So wonderful how Edith has been able to face her demons/past and become so inspirational
