The Choice

About The Choice

In 1944, at just sixteen years old, Edith Eger, a talented ballerina, faced the unimaginable when she was sent to Auschwitz. This powerful memoir, 'The Choice,' recounts her harrowing experiences, including the heartbreaking separation from her parents upon arrival and being forced to dance for the notorious Josef Mengele. Edith's story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for endurance, as she survived the horrors of the concentration camp, eventually being pulled from a pile of bodies, barely clinging to life after liberation.

Authored by Edith Eger herself, this inspiring true story reveals how the profound trauma of the Holocaust did not break her, but instead forged an extraordinary resilience and a life-affirming strength. 'The Choice' is more than a survival narrative; it's a profound exploration of healing, freedom, and the power to choose one's attitude even in the face of extreme adversity. It offers readers in Malta and Gozo a powerful message of hope, demonstrating that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit can find a way to flourish.
