"You can't change what happened, you can't change what you did or what was done to you. But you can change how you live now."
This is Holocaust book. Memoir ini membahas bagaimana Edith Eger berhadapan dan mengatasi trauma menjadi tawanan kamp konsentrasi. Cara dia bertahan. Cara dia berusaha tetap hidup. Bagaimana perang memang benar-benar bisa merubah perilaku/tingkah laku seseorang. Dalam buku ini juga membahas perjalan penulis menjadi seorang psikolog yang menghadapi pasien-pasien dari trauma, ntah itu karena perang, keluarga, pasangan, atau pelecehan.
The Choice terbagi jadi empat bagian, Penjara, Kabur, Kebebasan, dan Penyembuhan. Dua bagian awal itu adalah kehidupan dia selama jadi korban perang, dan dua bagian akhir kehidupan dia setelah perang dan menjadi psikolog.
Selama baca buku ini, banyak banget pesan tentang kehidupan, memaafkan, live changing, dan freedom. Benar-benar enlightenment dan menginspirasi. Part yang aku suka dari buku ini tuh sesi percakapan antara Edith Eger dan pasien-pasiennya.
Without hesitation this one is the second book about psychology that I love the most after Maybe You Should Talk to Someone (Semua Orang Butuh Curhat).
Well, kalian semua harus baca buku ini. Aku gatau ada terjemahannya atau nggak, but if you can read engbook I highly recommend this one to put as your next read!
Oh iya, jangan lupa liat trigger warning, soalnya banyak banget.

CW: genocide, death, trauma, loss of loved ones, violence, PTSD, antisemitism, racism, depression, panic attacks; mentions of rape, addiction, infidelity, eating disorder (recommend looking up on Storygraph for more CW).
The Choice is an inspiring, powerful, challenging memoir of a Holocaust survivor and a testament to resilience, inner strength, and healing from trauma. Dr. Eger experienced unspeakable horrors and darkness, and she not only survived Auschwitz but then embarked on an incredible healing journey. She immigrated to the United States where she became a psychiatrist in order to help others with their trauma.
Her path wasn’t easy as she coped with her grief, guilt, and PTSD while trying to move forward and build a new life for herself and her family. But she learns to make the choice to face the trauma, to accept what happened, to forgive herself, and to heal. The past can neither be changed nor forgotten, but the present is in our control.
This book was difficult to read and made me emotional several times. It was a lot to take in, and I made sure to read slowly and took my time reflecting after finishing the book. It made me think about how her lessons could apply to my own life. I was in complete awe of Dr. Eger’s journey, her strength, her wisdom, and her compassion.
Also, International Holocaust Rememberence Day is coming up on January 27, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Berkenau. I remember learning about the Holocaust in history class, reading Night by Elie Wiesel, and taking a field trip to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in DC. I think memoirs and exhibits help us remember the humanity in historical events and remind us that it really wasn’t all that long ago. Antisemitism existed before the Holocaust and has continued after, and it shouldn’t be minimized or ignored.
