One of the most powerful books about war and the inner strength of man. In 1944, sixteen-year-old ballerina Edith Eger was sent with her family to Auschwitz. Just hours after her parents were killed, Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele forced Edith to dance for his own amusement and her survival. Edith and her sister survived all the horrors of Auschwitz, Mauthausen and Gunskirchen, the death camps. On May 4, 1945, Edith, barely alive, was pulled out of a pile of corpses. Torture, hunger and the constant threat of death did not break Edith, and her inner world helped her to find life-affirming strength and mental freedom. Thirty-five years after the end of the war, having become a renowned psychologist, Edith returned to Auschwitz to rid herself of memories of the past and survivor's guilt. Edith alternates the events of her personal journey with the moving stories of those she herself helped heal. This book is an unforgettable story of survival and healing, a story of liberation and the strength of the human spirit. It shows that we can always choose what life teaches us and how to deal with what happens. It is a book that will change lives and give generations of readers encouragement.
