Could you forgive a war criminal?
Eva Kor did.
FORGIVING DR. MENGELE is a story of a shocking act of forgiveness
by Auschwitz survivor Eva Mozes Kor, who along with her
twin sister, Miriam, were victims of Nazi doctor Josef
Mengele’s cruel genetic experiments—an experience
that would haunt them their entire lives. Eva’s
metamorphosis from embittered survivor to tireless advocate
for reconciliation is sparked when she, in an attempt
to get information about the experiments, meets with another
former Auschwitz doctor. Her ideas about justice, revenge
and the possibility of healing through forgiveness—as
well as the passionate opposition from other survivors—become
a window to a larger discussion of the many ways people
define forgiveness.
