The Choice: Embrace the Possible
by Edith Eva Eger
This is a memoir by Dr Edith Eva Eger, a prominent psychiatrist and Holocausts survivor. Edith was a competitive gymnast and dancer who was cut from the Olympic team because she was Jewish. At the age of 16 she was imprisoned in Auschwitz where hours after her parents were killed she was forced to dance for Josef Mengele. In the book, she documents the horrors she and her sister endure to survive and then shares how she moves from victim to survivor in the years after the war.
Eger uses examples from patients she has worked with during her career to highlight how we can embrace the possibilities of life through our choices.
I found the narrative compelling but at times felt she had painted several dots without fully connecting them.
