Description

One of the strongest books about war and inner strength. In 1944, sixteen-year-old ballerina Edith Egger is sent to Auschwitz. The horrors do not break Edith—her inner world gives her a life-affirming strength and freedom. Edith Eva Egger is from Hungary; in her youth she was a ballerina. Edith Eva Egger was still a teenager when in 1944, together with her family, she was sent to the concentration camp Auschwitz. There her parents died in the gas chamber, but courage and inner strength sustained Edith and her sister in Auschwitz, then in Mauthausen and in Gusen-horrific death camps. On May 4, 1945, a young American soldier found Edith, barely alive, among a pile of corpses.
