andshe_reads 's review for:
The Ballerina of Auschwitz
by Edith Eva Eger
emotional
medium-paced
I haven't read Edith's original memoir The Choice, but I've since requested to reserve it at my local library. If this beautiful yet harrowing book is anything to go by I know I'll enjoy it.
When I say 'enjoy it', it leaves me with a pit in my stomach, these aren't the right words to express when reading about Edith's awful experience.
I appreciated her sharing with us her life before during and after the war. Which is something that actually sets her memoir apart from others. We got a full picture of the true devastation, not just physically but mentally also.
The message given to us through Edith's words are that we always have a choice, and what a valuable memo to be reminded of. Edith's strength, resilience and determination speak volumes and it left me feeling positive despite the horrors she experienced.
I highly recommend everyone read this book not just the younger audience.
