Edith Eva Eger, whose life revolved around dancing and training to compete for the Hungarian Olympic team as a gymnast, was not yet 17 when her family was arrested by Hungarian Nazis.
Not enough having to bear the dreadful separation from her mother, whom she never saw again, the young ballerina had to dance for the infamous SS doctor - Dr. Joseph Mengele who later became known the "Angel of Death" - when he wanted to be entertained.
The German doctor rewarded the Jewish girl with an extra ration of bread.
