Survivor of 'Angel of Death' Nazi torture dies
Eva Kor survived the Holocaust and went on to call for forgiveness of Nazi perpetrators, giving tours of the death camp at Auschwitz. She set up a small Holocaust museum in her adoptive home in the US and has died aged 85, during one of her annual trips to Poland. Eva Mozes Kor was born in Romania and was deported with her Jewish family to Auschwitz in 1944. Unlike the rest of her family, she and her twin sister Miriam survived. But they were brutally abused by the notorious Josef Mengele, known as the Angel of Death, who carried out torture on more than 1,000 twins and other Auschwitz prisoners. Three times a week we went to the blood lab. There we were injected with germs and chemicals and they took a lot of blood from us, she said in 2001. She developed a high fever and was given two weeks to live, but eventually recovered. The sisters were liberated shortly before their 11th birthday and left for Israel, where Eva later married an American and moved to Terre Haute in the US state of Indiana. In 1985 she set up the Candles Holocaust Museum and Education Center. The museum said she had been spurred into action by the landmark US TV drama, Holocaust, which was shown in Germany and many other countries. Her sister died in 1993 after a life of health difficulties she had suffered since Auschwitz. Eva spent the rest of her life giving talks about Auschwitz and returning to the site of the former death camp every year. In 2015, she attended the German trial of former Auschwitz guard Oskar Gröning, known as the book-keeper of Auschwitz as he was responsible for counting the belongings confiscated from prisoners. She approached Gröning and shook his hand and he responded by kissing her on the cheek. Gröning was eventually jailed for four years for being an accessory to the murder of at least 300,000 people. The museum Kor set up in Terre Haute announced she had died in Krakow on Thursday morning, adding she had touched the lives of thousands of people through her message of overcoming tragedy, finding forgiveness, and healing. In a Facebook statement, the museum said that one of the themes of her life was that forgiveness can help to heal.

Eva Mozes Kor - Holocaust Memorial Week 2016
In 1944, at the age of ten, Eva Mozes, along with her family of Romanian Jews, was taken to Auschwitz. Her parents and two sisters perished there. She and her twin sister Miriam were spared, but only because they were used for experiments by Dr. Josef Mengele, the most notorious of the Nazi doctors. After spending the 1950's in Israel, Eva immigrated to the U.S. For many years, she has lived in Terre Haute, Indiana. In 1984, she organized a foundation called CANDLES, which tracked the survivors of Mengele’s experiments and in 1995 she established a Holocaust museum in Terre Haute, to provide and promote Holocaust education. Mozes Kor is also well known for her work on peace and forgiveness; she has personally forgiven the Nazis, even Mengele, for what they did to her during World War II. She has co-authored three books (one of them primarily for children) about her experiences during the war.

Patty talked to Eva at the Candles Holocaust Museum she founded in Terre Haute, about her life . . . her vision . . . and what she's learned by simply surviving.
