Edith was sixteen when the Nazis invaded her hometown in Hungary and took her and the rest of her family to Auschwitz. Her parents were sent to the gas chamber, and she remained with her sister, awaiting certain death. But dancing The Blue Danube for Mengele saved her life, and from then on, a new struggle for survival began. First in the extermination camps, then in communist-occupied Czechoslovakia, and finally in the United States, where she became a disciple of Viktor Frankl. It was then that she realized the need to heal her wounds, to speak of the horror she had lived through, and to forgive as a path to healing. A moving, powerful, and inspiring book for all who wish to live life to the fullest. Edith Eger is a survivor whose life experience and career as a psychologist have allowed her to help thousands of people living incapacitated by their emotional scars.
