Oh my goodness. 

This is absolutely, undeniably a book for everybody who has ever suffered—and so everybody on this earth—to read. 

The Choice is so much more than a memoir of an Auschwitz survivor. This is a diary of the light that can be found in darkness; of trauma, reconciliation of trauma, and rebirth; of the forgiveness of your torturers (whether they be the SS soldiers of Nazi Germany’s concentration camp, your childhood abuser, or the friend who didn’t invite you to a meal with your group); of the resilience, self-respect, and strength that comprise forgiveness; of the reality of the darkness of trauma, and the fact that only you can liberate yourself from that very mental cage; of the power of choice; of the sacredness of the present. 

This is truly the most transformative non-fiction I have ever read. I hope this book finds itself in many more hands than it already has.
