A New York Times Bestseller “I’ll be forever changed by Dr. Eger’s story…The Choice is a reminder of what courage looks like in the worst of times and that we all have the ability to pay attention to what we’ve lost, or to pay attention to what we still have.”—Oprah “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 “Dr. Edith Eva Eger is my kind of hero. She survived unspeakable horrors and brutality; but rather than let her painful past destroy her, she chose to transform it into a powerful gift—one she uses to help others heal.” —Jeannette Walls, New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle Winner of the National Jewish Book Award and Christopher Award At the age of sixteen, Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. Hours after her parents were killed, Nazi officer Dr. Josef Mengele, forced Edie to dance for his amusement and her survival. Edie was pulled from a pile of corpses when the American troops liberated the camps in 1945. Edie spent decades struggling with flashbacks and survivor’s guilt, determined to stay silent and hide from the past. Thirty-five years after the war ended, she returned to Auschwitz and was finally able to fully heal and forgive the one person she’d been unable to forgive—herself. Edie weaves her remarkable personal journey with the moving stories of those she has helped heal. She explores how we can be imprisoned in our own minds and shows us how to find the key to freedom. The Choice is a life-changing book that will provide hope and comfort to generations of readers.

There is no political solution to the dilemma we are in. It doesnt matter if it is the Republicans or the Democrats, changing to the other party will not solve our problems. We have seen that improves nothing. The only real difference between the parties, anyway, is how much to spend, where to spend it, and who to take it from. Many think we need to throw out the whole bunch. But the question is: who would we get to replace them? And would we be any better off by just changing those at the top? Politicians in a society based on greed do not do what is best for the people; they do what is best for themselves. To change the politicians, we need to change ourselvesbecause they are some of us. They are just in a position to take advantage of the greed we, as a society, live by. Our religions have gotten us only so far. The religion of Hell, fire, and brimstone, is no longer serving us. It is time we started being honest with ourselves about what we really believe, and how we act. The way we treat one another is the measure of our consciousness. Even with having religions, we have been as cruel as we can possibly be to each otherphysically, mentally, and emotionally, and there is no more evil that we can do. We have done it all. To improve further, we need to evolve to a new level in our spirituality---one of love and compassion. This book is a call for us to take our power back, to mature as a society, and to develop compassion and tolerance for one another. Having compassion is the only way we will be able to make things better for ourselves.
