Description
By Edith Eva Eger
Edith Eger was sixteen when the Nazis took her family from their home in Hungary to Auschwitz, where Mengele sent her parents to the gas chamber on arrival and then made her dance for him.
She survived, emigrated, and became a clinical psychologist. The book is both her account of the camps and what she learned afterwards from treating patients: that the worst prisons are often the ones people build in their own minds, and that the choice of how to respond is the one thing that cannot be taken.
