nicamas's review against another edition
5.0
Following the story of Ediths life from her young family life, through the horrors and tribulation, and most horrendous suffering during the camps of WW2, through to her liberation and later life is incredibly sad and challenging. Further into the book understanding how those experiences shaped her later life, and seeing which choices she made is profound.
It inevitably leads to you reflecting on your own choices and is a must read book.
Moderate: Hate crime, Injury/Injury detail, and War

pixiebix's review against another edition
4.5
This is absolutely, undeniably a book for everybody who has ever suffered—and so everybody on this earth—to read.
The Choice is so much more than a memoir of an Auschwitz survivor. This is a diary of the light that can be found in darkness; of trauma, reconciliation of trauma, and rebirth; of the forgiveness of your torturers (whether they be the SS soldiers of Nazi Germany’s concentration camp, your childhood abuser, or the friend who didn’t invite you to a meal with your group); of the resilience, self-respect, and strength that comprise forgiveness; of the reality of the darkness of trauma, and the fact that only you can liberate yourself from that very mental cage; of the power of choice; of the sacredness of the present.
This is truly the most transformative non-fiction I have ever read. I hope this book finds itself in many more hands than it already has.
