The incredible, bestselling memoir of survival, hope and empowerment
Dr Edith Eger is a Hungarian-born psychologist, Holocaust survivor and international bestselling author of The Choice and The Gift. Born in Hungary, Edith was a teenager when she and her family were sent to Auschwitz in the Second World War. Despite overwhelming odds, Edith survived the Holocaust and moved with her husband to the United States. Having worked in a factory whilst raising her young family, she went on to graduate with a PhD from the University of Texas and became an eminent psychologist.
I can’t imagine a more important message for modern times. Eger’s
book is a triumph, and should be read by all who care about both
their inner freedom and the future of humanity
*New York Times Book review*
Extraordinary….will stick with you long after you read it
*Bill Gates*
The Choice is a gift to humanity. One of those rare and eternal
stories that you don't want to end and that leaves you forever
changed. Dr. Eger's life reveals our capacity to transcend even the
greatest of horrors and to use that suffering for the benefit of
others. She has found true freedom and forgiveness and shows us how
we can as well
*DESMOND TUTU, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate*
A masterpiece of holocaust literature. Her memoir, like her life,
is extraordinary, harrowing and inspiring in equal measure
*The Times Literary Supplement*
Eger's remarkable spirit shines through in every word
*Stylist*
Edith’s strength and courage are remarkable in this memoir as she
draws on her own unthinkable experience in Nazi concentration camps
to become a therapist and help others recover from all kinds of
hardship. Her life and work are an incredible example of
forgiveness, resilience and generosity.
*Sheryl Sandberg*
I can’t describe to you how powerful this book is … I barely have
words.
*Marian Keyes*
There have been many heartrending Holocaust books. But few as
powerful as this new memoir by a ballet dancer.
*Daily Mail*
Exceptional…Eger became a friend of Viktor Frankl…and The Choice is
a wonderful companion piece to his classic memoir Man’s Search for
Meaning. Both books are full of hope…and leave you marvelling at
the resilience of mankind
*Daily Express*
One of the most incredible [stories] I’ve ever read – and one you
must read too
