This is an extraordinary and deeply moving memoir. Dr. Edith Eva Eger, a Holocaust survivor and eminent psychologist, shares her experiences with astonishing honesty and courage. At just sixteen, she was taken to Auschwitz, witnessed her parents’ murder, and was forced to dance for Joseph Mengele—but even in the darkest moments, she found ways to survive and help others.
The book is divided into four sections: Prison, Escape, Freedom, and Healing, and it’s incredible to see how someone who endured so much trauma went on to dedicate her life to helping others confront their own suffering. Her insights into forgiveness, resilience, and the power of choice are profound.
This isn’t an easy read, but it’s one you won’t forget. I took my time reading, researching people and places along the way, because the story is that compelling. Dr. Eger is truly remarkable, and this memoir is inspiring, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting. Definitely my most highlighted book on Goodreads.
