The girl who forgave death, 1945

Eva Kor was a Romanian/American survivor of the Holocaust. She was taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944. At the camp, her mother, father and two sisters were taken away upon arrival to be executed. Eva had this to say:

"I never even got to say goodbye to her. But I didn't really understand that this would be the last time we would see her"

Eva and her sister Miriam were spared as they were twins, and they were sent to be experimented on by Josef Mengele, the Nazi Angel of death.

Eva and Miriam would go through months of medical torture. They were injected with unknown liquids which modern doctors can't figure out. Both girls became very sick, and Eva suffered from a fever for 5 weeks. Eva was so sick that she could not walk and was given 2 weeks to live, however she fought through the experiments and the pain and kept telling herself "I must survive, I must survive". In 1945, the camp was liberated by the Soviet Army, and Eva and her sister returned to Romania.

In 1950, Eva moved to Israel and served in the army for 8 years. She then moved to the USA in 1960, and married a man named Michael Kor, who was also a Holocaust survivor. Eva suffered from health problems as she grew older, however Miriam showed complex and severe medical issues during her 3 pregnancies.

It was discovered that Miriam's kidneys did not grow since she was 10. Miriam's kidneys failed, and Eva speculated this was due to the experimentation they went through as children. Eva donated a kidney to her sister and said:

"I have one sister and two kidneys, so it was an easy choice."

Sadly, Miriam died in 1993 due to kidney cancer. Filled with anger at what the Nazis had done to her and her family, Eva went on to campaign for recognition of the Holocaust.

However, Eva made her emotional journey about forgiveness, and in the 1990s, she forgave Mengele and the Nazis for the pain they had caused.

In 2019, Eva passed away. In the picture above, she shows a picture of herself in Auschwitz with her sister Miriam standing beside her to her left in the hood.
