Details:

Eger was sixteen when the Nazis invaded her village in Hungary and took her and the rest of her family to Auschwitz. When they set foot in the camp, 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 she began a new fight for survival. First in the extermination camps, then in communist-occupied Czechoslovakia and finally in the United States, where she would end up becoming a disciple of Viktor Frankl. It was then, after decades of hiding her past, that she realised the need to heal her wounds, to talk about the horror she had experienced and to forgive as a path to healing.
His message is clear: we have the ability to escape the prisons we build in our minds and we can choose to be free, whatever the circumstances of our lives.

«This book is a gift to humanity. One of those unique and timeless stories that you never want to finish reading and that changes your life forever.» Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner
