Eva: A-7063

At the age of 10, Eva Mozes Kor fought through the horrors of Auschwitz, where she was experimented on as one of "Dr. Mengele's twins." Later, she helped launch a global manhunt for Mengele. After decades of torment and pain, she eventually came to forgive the Nazis and has since emerged as arguably the best-known and most-active Holocaust survivor in the world. This is her story. Eva and her twin sister Miriam lost both of their parents and two older sisters in the Holocaust; only Eva and Miriam survived. Later, Eva married an American and moved to the U.S. to begin a new life. In 1984, she founded the organization CANDLES (an acronym for "Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors"). Through the program, she has located 122 other survivors of Dr. Mengele’s horrific experiments around the world. Eva also founded CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center to educate the public about eugenics, the Holocaust, and the power of forgiveness. In 1995, she received international attention when she publicly forgave the Nazis for what had been done to her. Now 85, with her body failing, she's urgently circling the globe delivering her message of peace, kindness, healing and self-empowerment for future generations. Her lessons go far beyond her own experience, addressing current global atrocities and two of the biggest problems facing today's youth: bullying and discrimination. EVA is narrated by award-winning actor Ed Asner and features people influenced by her message, national Holocaust and education experts, and other Holocaust survivors, plus representatives from the Shoah Foundation and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
