Summary
Eva Mozes Kor
Eva Mozes Kor was a survivor of Auschwitz and Dr. Josef Menegele. Menegele was cruel he used twins as guinea pigs. Kor was taken to Auschwitz in May 1944 along with her father, mother, two older sisters and her twin sister, Miriam. Eva and Miriam were taken from the rest of their family never to see them again. Menegele did experimental test on them. She has forgave all the Nazis so she can move on with her life and not live in pain everyday with everything she has endured through her life as a young girl.
For the 50th anniversary of the day she was liberated she had found and talked to a former Nazi doctor Munch and convinced him to go with her back to Auschwitz. She was in search of Mengele records so she could find out what he had injected into her sister because she was sick with her kidneys. Kor donated one of her kidneys to her sister. The records have never been found.
The other surviving twins are not happy because Kor forgave the Nazis for what they have done. She says that it has freed her of her pain that she has lived with for so long. They don’t think she has the right to forgive for the ones that died, but I don’t feel that she was forgiving for anyone but herself.
