One of the most powerful books about the war and the inner strength of man.
In 1944, the sixteen -year -old ballerina Edith Eger was sent with his family to Aushwitz. Only a few hours after the death of her parents, Nazi Dr. Joseph Mengele made Edith dance for his own fun and her survival. Edith and her sister experienced all the horrors of Auschwitz, Mauthausen and Gunskirhen - death camps. On May 4, 1945, Edith, barely alive, got out of a bunch of corpses.
Torture, hunger and constant threat of death did not break Edith, and its inner world helped to gain life -affirming power and mental freedom. 35 years after the end of the war, becoming a famous psychologist, Edith returned to Aushwitz to get rid of the memories of the past and the guilt of the survivor. Edith alternates the events of his personal journey with the touching stories of those to whom she herself helped to recover.
This book is an unforgettable story of survival and healing, the history of the liberation and strength of the human spirit. She shows that we can always choose what life teaches us and how to relate to what is happening. This is a book that will change their lives and give readers to supporters.

From the author
My past still pursued me: every time I heard the siren, someone"s heavy steps or screams of people, there was an alarming, confusing feeling. This is considered a trauma-as I once learned-if you feel almost all the time with an interpretation: something is wrong or something terrible will happen if the involuntary reaction of the body, talking about the need to escape to escape, immediately arises. Find the shelter, hide from the danger that is everywhere. My injury can still appear due to some kind of everyday meeting. A sudden look or a specific smell can throw me back into the past.
Now, when I write the book, more than seventy years have passed. The incident can no longer be changed, and it is impossible to forget it. But over time, I realized that I was able to choose how to react to the past. I can feel unhappy and I can be full of hopes, I can feel depressed and can be happy. We always have such a choice, there is the possibility of control. I’m here and now, this is the present - I taught myself to repeat it again and again until the panic state has weakened.
[...] At whatever your life you are now: are you enjoying early youth, whether you have entered a mature age or have reached old age, did you know deep suffering or have just begun to face difficulties, whether you are worried about whether you are worried about whether you are worried about The first love or, already in old age, forever spent their life partner, whether you come to your senses after your whole existence of the event or are in anticipation of at least some changes that can make your life more joyfully-in any case I will be glad to help to you.
I will tell you how to find a way to escape from your inner concentration camp created by your consciousness, how to become what you should be. I would like to help you gain freedom: independence from the past, from failures and fears, from anger and mistakes, from regrets and inescapable grief - freedom to enjoy the boundless and generous holiday of life. We are not able to order a life in which there was no place for grief or pain. But we can decide to become free, escape from the past and, despite what has fallen to our share, embrace everything possible. And I invite you to make a choice in favor of freedom.
[...] For Friday dinner, my mother always baked hell. Like a whispering bread woven from three strips of dough, my book consists of three lines - this is the story of my survival, the story of my healing and the story of the people dear to me, whom I had the honor to take on the path of liberation. I set out my experience as I remember. In the stories about my patients, the essence of their cases is reflected accurately, but I changed the names and nuances by which they could be recognized. Now you have to read the story of the choice - sometimes a large, sometimes small - a choice that can draw a person from an injury to victory, from darkness to light, from imprisonment to liberation.
