At the age of sixteen, Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. Hours after her parents were killed, Nazi officer Dr. Josef Mengele, forced Edie to dance for his amusement and her survival. Edie was pulled from a pile of corpses when the American troops liberated the camps in 1945.
Edie spent decades struggling with flashbacks and survivor’s guilt, determined to stay silent and hide from the past. 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. The Choice is a life-changing book that will provide hope and comfort to generations of readers.
作者简介
· · · · · ·
An eminent psychologist and one of the few remaining Holocaust survivors old enough to remember life in the camps, Dr. Edith Eger has worked with veterans, military personnel, and victims of physical and mental trauma. She lives in La Jolla, California. She is the author of the award-winning book The Choice and The Gift.
Suffering is universal, but victimhood is optional. Victimhood comes from the inside. No one can make you a victim but you. We become victims not because of what happens to us but when we choose to hold on to our victimization. We develop a victim's mind - a way of thinking and being that is rigid, blaming, pessimistic, stuck in the past, unforgiving, punitive, and without healthy limits or boundaries. We become our own jailors when we choose the confines of the victim's mind. (查看原文)

看到书名时完全没想到是奥斯维辛幸存者记录历史，以及个人如何在邪恶和苦难生长成善好。讲历史时让人不能自已，讲心路时感到循循力量。

作者是大屠杀集中营的幸存者，记录真实，跌宕的人生。作者生性并不是一个强者，但所有的普通、真实的人生就是绝地时被迫求生，平静时寻找自我。人生的境遇有大环境的无奈，但每个人都有许许多多自己做选择的机会，不去纠缠力所不及，努力克服内心的羁绊，做最适合当下的选择。故事很吸引人，后面穿插的案例虽然经常让我感觉有点跳戏，但瑕不掩瑜，值得读的一本书。
