Everyone needs to read this book. Everything that happened at that horrible place should not be forgotten.  Eva Mozes Kor was a blessing to this world.

What a beautiful and powerful story about 2 little girls identical twins Eva and Miriam Mozes survival in Auschwitz.  Because they were identical they were chosen with 100 other twins by Dr. Mengele ( known Angel of Death) for experiments that he and the Nazis wanted to see what twins had in common.

This story is told by Eva and you follow her and Miriam’s life before the war during the war and after.

You see how these experiments affected the children of Dr. Mengele.

Eva and Miriam survived and Eva managed to forgive what was done to her. Miriam passed away in early 1990’s due to what experiments/injections she had at the hands of Dr. Mengele.

Forgiveness! A powerful word! It’s a word to give you peace and not live with hatred. 

Feels dreadful to rate someone's unimaginably awful story so low, given everything this literal child went through simply to survive, just for some idiot on the internet to rate it one and a half stars. But it was very thin. I got almost no sense of who Eva or Miriam were as people, let alone their families or the other people they knew in the camp. I felt no connection to Eva, and actually it wasn't until the lengthy afterword that I got any idea of what she was like or how her unthinkable experiences shaped her. I did see in the co-author's epilogue that Eva wanted the book to be used in schools, so perhaps they pitched the language and content down quite a bit? Certainly I felt that a lot of the atrocities must have been glossed over, and I didn't get much of a sense of lasting effects on the people involved.
