Vid 16 års ålder skickas Edith till Auschwitz tillsammans med sin familj. Hon skiljs från sina föräldrar direkt vid ankomsten och bara några timmar efter det att de mördats i gaskammaren tvingar lägrets läkare, doktor Mengele, Edith att dansa för honom. När koncentrationslägret befrias, hittas Edith – knappt levande – i en stor hög med döda kroppar. Edith Eger överlevde, men i decennier led hon i tystnad av posttraumatisk stress och skuldkänslor. Först efter 35 år lyckades hon förlåta sig själv. I Att välja varvar Edith sin egen starka historia med gripande berättelser om människor som hon har hjälpt genom åren. Hon visar hur många håller sig själva som fångar – låsta av rädslor, oro eller det förflutna – och hon hjälper oss att hitta nyckeln till vår frihet. Att välja är en bok som förändrar livet.

"Edith Egerin tarina muutti minut iäksi." - Oprah WinfreyTarina painajaisesta vapauteen ja anteeksiantoon.Lohdullinen ja voimaannuttava tarina siitä, miten ihmiset voivat jäädä oman mielensä vangeiksi - ja miten kuka tahansa voi löytää avaimet vapauteen.Edith Eger joutui kuusitoistavuotiaana perheinensä Auschwitzin keskitysleirille. Vanhempiensa kuoleman jälkeen Eger joutui tanssimaan Josef Mengelelle selviytyäkseen hengissä. Kun vangit vihdoin vapautettiin vuonna 1945, Eger löytyi ruumiskasasta, juuri ja juuri elossa. Sodan jälkeen hän pakeni Yhdysvaltoihin ja opiskeli psykologian tohtoriksi. Eger auttoi potilaitaan käsittelemään traumojaan samalla, kun hän kamppaili omien muistojensa kanssa. Lopulta hänen oli kohdattava menneisyytensä voidakseen antaa anteeksi - itselleen.Auschwitzin tanssija voitti National Jewish Book Awardja Christopher-palkinnon ja nousi New York Timesin sekä Sunday Timesin bestseller-listalle.Edith Eva Eger (s. 1927) on unkarilaissyntyinen psykologi ja holokaustin selviytyjä. Hän on erikoistunut traumaperäisen stressin hoitoon. Kalifornian yliopiston tohtori Eger on esiintynyt useissa televisio-ohjelmissa, ja hän on kysytty puhuja maailmalla.
