Una historia de dolor, horror y tristeza, pero también es una historia de superación. Me ha gustado bastante, porque la autora transmite muy bien sus sentimientos, para que tú también lo sientas.
I wanted to give this at least 3 stars, but I really thought it was just ok. I absolutely loved her book "12 gifts that will change your life". I don't know if I just expected it to be more along those lines, but I had a really hard time getting into this memoir of sorts.

Edith Eva Egers survived the Holocaust. She was imprisoned in Auschwitz and miraculously survived. Her tale is harrowing and unimaginable. She lost her parents, her first love and part of her childhood. Once freed from the camp, Egers dedicated her life to the study of psychology and the power of hope over fear. This book is her story. She tells of great loss, crippling fear and overcoming trauma. Her story is amazing and uplifting. The power of forgiveness and dedication to rising above has helped her change the lives of many including those lucky enough to pick up a copy of her book. Anyone who reads this can find something of great value to take away from The Choice.

Wao este libro a resultado ser una verdadera joya encontrada! Lo empece a escuchar sin ninguna expectativa y me ha cautivado. Que historia tan conmovedora y llena de aprendizajes, en todos los sentidos. Este libro es uno de esos que hay que leer varias veces en el transcurso de los años. Me ha fascinado, super recomendado.

3.5 I came to this memoir (/self-help book?) with no more information than the cover blurb - which made me think of the holocaust-memoir-meets-therapy of Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search For Meaning. Eger was younger than Frankl during WW2 so her story is of young girl surviving through the kindness and solidarity of sisters, friends and, occasionally, the enemy. And this is just part of the story – Eger’s story really comes to life in the “what happens next” 70 years after these events. And how those formative experiences contributed to her move into the profession of psychology (yes, she was quite influenced by Frankl’s work) and her own work helping US service people through PTSD. Eger’s resilience shines throughout this moving chronicle of a remarkable life.
