Holocaust Survivor Shares Horrific Stories-- Part 1

From the April 11-17, 2013, Lake County (Ill) Journal by Yadira Sanchez Olson.

Eva Kor, 79, spoke about her experiences April 4th at Carmel High School in Mundelein, Illinois. She is the founder of CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Indiana and travels the world speaking about her story in concentration camps and the time she and her twin sister, Miriam Mozes, were taken to the death camp where Josef Mengele held and experimented on 3,000 Jewish twins.

"Anger is the seed of war. Forgiveness is a seed of peace."

It was dawn of an early spring day she said in her thick Romanian accent. That was the day in 1944 that a group of Nazis stopped her parents' car and pulled her apart from her father, mother, two older sisters and took her and Miriam to the Auschwitz death camp. They were 10 years old.
