Report
on “Forgiving Dr. Mengele”
This
is a documentary on Eva Mozes Kor. She and her twin sister Mariam were victims
of the cruel and heartless German scientist, Dr. Mengele. They were brought to
Auschwitz, alongside of their mother, when they were about ten years old. The
twins were ripped away from their mother who was taken to the gas chambers as
soon as they got off the train. The only reason Eva and Mariam were taken alive
because they were twins. Dr. Mengele liked the fact of having twins because he
had two instead of one; if one died, he had the other one to do more test on.
Eva and Mariam survived the agony they endured while they were there. After the
war was over they tried to live normal lives. They grew up, got married, and
had kids. Nobody ever talked about the ordeal they lived through. Mariam had
some major problems from all the injections she got from the experiments. She
passed away and Eva was so upset.
Eva
eventually forgave the Nazis and soon even forgave Dr. Mengele for what they
did to her. Many people thought it wasn’t right for her to forgive them and
they gave her a bunch of grief for it. She stood her ground and said it was her
right to be able to be at peace in her heart. I think Eva Kor is a very
positive human being. She stands for what she thinks is right for herself and
doesn’t care what others think. She has been through so much and for her to be
able to forgive someone for doing such evil and heartless things to children,
is a very strong thing to do.
