She has found true freedom and forgiveness and shows us how we can as well." —Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate "Dr. Edith Eva Eger is my kind of hero. She survived unspeakable horrors and brutality; but rather than let her painful past destroy her, she chose to transform it into a powerful gift—one she uses to help others heal." —Jeannette Walls, New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle Winner of the National Jewish Book Award and Christopher Award At the age of sixteen, Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz.

Thirty-five years after the war ended, she returned to Auschwitz and was finally able to fully heal and forgive the one person she'd been unable to forgive—herself. Edie weaves her remarkable personal journey with the moving stories of those she has helped heal. She explores how we can be imprisoned in our own minds and shows us how to find the key to freedom.

About the Author

Доктор Эдит Ева Эгер, родом из Венгрии, была совсем юной девушкой, когда ее вместе с семьей в 1944 году отправили в Аушвиц — один из самых чудовищных лагерей смерти. Там погибли ее родители. Сегодня, в возрасте девяноста двух лет, доктор Эгер ведет активную психологическую практику в Ла-Хойя, входит в преподавательский состав Калифорнийского университета и регулярно читает лекции по всей Америке и за границей. На протяжении многих лет она консультирует Военно-морские силы США по вопросам восстановления психики и лечения посттравматического стрессового расстройства. Доктор Эгер — участница нескольких телевизионных программ, в том числе "Шоу Опры Уинфри" и специального выпуска новостей, посвященного семидесятилетию со дня освобождения Аушвица. Она была одной из главных героинь документального фильма о холокосте, вышедшего на голландском национальном телевидении. Доктор Эгер стала учителем года Эль-Пасо в 1972 году, женщиной года Эль-Пасо в 1987 году и получила премию за гуманитарную деятельность сената штата Калифорния в 1992 году. Доктор Эгер открывала Мировой конгресс по логотерапии, приуроченный к девяностолетию Виктора Франкла. "Выбор" — ее первая книга.
