Disclaimer: I don't own Sophie's Choice and frankly if I were put in that situation I don't know what I would do. This is told from Sophie's point of view
I loved both of my children... all three of them in fact. Several years before Jan was born I had another child. I watch my child die slowly and piece by piece. Jan was ten years old. Eve was only seven. I knew if I had chosen Jan Eve would suffer more. She would be like my first child; dying slowly. She was so young. In the chambers she would just die quickly and peacefully. I had a chance to save Jan. I would not have been able to save Eve. I lost all three of my children. My oldest girl to a disease that is now called cancer. My boy to the flu. My youngest girl to the gas chambers. Now I am all alone. Now I am dying. Soon I will breathe my last. I smile through my tears for I know soon I will be with my girls... and my boy.
