This is not just a Holocaust memoir. It’s a deeply human, life-affirming exploration of trauma, healing, and resilience. Eger writes with startling honesty about survival, survivor’s guilt, love, loss, and the long road back to herself. Later in life, she became a psychologist, helping others heal — and she weaves those insights seamlessly into her own story.
Despite the heaviness of its history, The Choice is ultimately hopeful. It doesn’t sugarcoat suffering, but it refuses to let suffering have the final word. Instead, it offers compassion, wisdom, and the quiet reassurance that healing is possible — at any age, at any stage, no matter what you’ve been through.
This is a book you’ll underline, dog-ear, and think about long after you’ve turned the last page. It’s devastating, beautiful, and profoundly empowering.
