Eva Mozes Kor (Author) Eva Mozes Kor was a resident of Terre Haute, Indiana. Following her survival of Auschwitz, she became a recognised speaker, both nationally and internationally, on topics related to the Holocaust and social justice. Eva created the CANDLES organisation in 1985 to locate other Mengele twins and found 122 twins across the world. Ten years later, she opened the CANDLES Holocaust Museum to educate the public about the historic event she survived. A community leader, champion of human rights, and tireless educator, Eva has been covered in numerous media outlets and is the subject of a documentary, Forgiving Dr. Mengele. She passed away in 2019.
Eva Mozes Kor has written a very moving and vivid account of an
extraordinary and horrific experience. It is an important document
showing the strength of the human spirit and the capacity to
forgive. She should be commended for having the courage to write
about her traumatic childhood, leading to the forgiveness that
freed her from hatred and brought her peace. May it inspire others
to emulate her.
*Archbishop Desmond Tutu*
This remarkable story is an important entry point in the teaching
of Holocaust History and the many issues which emerge from it, not
least of all the triumph of the human spirit.
*Richard Freedman, National Director, South African Holocaust
Foundation*
