When I read The Choice, I stopped a few times just to breathe. Because the words written by a holocaust survivor are raw and honest and heartbreaking. It's one of the best books I've ever read.
It's no wonder that Oprah says she will be "forever changed" by reading Dr. Edith Eger's story.
A native of Hungary, Edith Eva Eger was just a teenager in 1944 when she and her family were sent to Auschwitz. Her parents were sent to the gas chambers, but Edith's bravery kept her and her sister alive. Toward the end of the war, Edith and other prisoners had been moved to Austria. Then, on May 4, 1945, a young American soldier noticed her hand moving slightly amongst several dead bodies. He quickly summoned medical help and brought her back from the brink of death.
After the war, Edith moved to Czechoslovakia, where she met the man she would marry. Later, in 1949, they moved to the United States, and in 1969 she received her degree in Psychology from the University of Texas, El Paso. She pursued her doctoral internship at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Fort Bliss, Texas.
Dr. Edith is an angel on planet earth. I'm so happy to share this interview.
