Years ago I watched the viral video of Eva Mozes Kor talking about her Auschwitz survival story. Her message of forgiveness has stuck with me. I later learned she’d written this memoir. 
 
Straightforward yet impactful, the pages of this book are filled with the horrifying experiences Eva and her twin sister Miriam faced at the beginning of the war, in Auschwitz, and in particular, with Josef Mengele. Eva also discusses her life after the war and the impact of being imprisoned under such terrible conditions. 
 
While the book ends on notes of forgiveness, Eva in no way condones the atrocities committed by the Nazis, rather, she elaborates that for her own freedom, she found forgiveness was the only way to escape the clutches of her memories. I’ve found her story and outlook on life inspiring.
