At sixteen, Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. After her parents were killed, Nazi officer Dr. Josef Mengele forced her to dance for survival. She was rescued by American troops in 1945.

For decades, Edie struggled with flashbacks and survivor’s guilt, hiding from her past. Thirty-five years later, she returned to Auschwitz and found healing by forgiving herself.

Blending her story with those she has helped, Edie reveals how we imprison ourselves mentally and how to find freedom. The Choice offers hope and comfort to generations.
