The Choice: Embrace the Possible - Dr. Edith Eger

 In 1944, Edith Eger was only sixteen-years-old when her along with her parents and grandparents were sent to Auschwitz. Her parents and grandparents were sent to the gas chamber. She was forced to waltz, "The Blue Danube" shortly after her family was murdered. Orders to dance for Mengele become common place for her. Her little ballerina body danced and danced and experience horrors upon horrors.
