    I cannot say enough about Mrs Eva Kor. I know her story forward and backwards. She has always been an inspiration to me. She went through the most horrific experiences. She stood up when many didn’t. She started speaking out early. She started Candles museum and brought mass attention again to the escape of Mengele. She ended able to forgive for HERSELF when others were outraged. She was a force in herself. She will forever be missed. May her memory forever be a blessing along with Miriam and their family who perished.

      I had the pleasure of meeting Eva Kor at Utah State University in 2013. To hear her story was amazing, but seeing that tiny woman was something else. Her presence filled the room. She was soft spoken (probably because she was not feeling strong that day having traveled a lot) but fiercely captivating. I thank God in Heaven for her 💙

      @@annereidy7981 the Holocaust was an appaling atrocity against mankind and and the murder of children is particularly evil. However have things really changed in the modern world . Look up the facts of the number of Palestinian children that have been murdered by the state of Israel .

Many holocaust have happened in the world, and that since the second w war too.

      @@annereidy7981 you are wrong the comment is legitimate .this is a factual story about how a mother in an incredibly dangerous situation will do anything to protect her child even risking her own life. And that humanity has not improved to stop merciless killing . If the example of Israel is offensive then what about Saudi Arabia and the forced starvation to death of at least 200,000 children in Yemen over the last year .it was mentioned once on CNN snd then no more coverage as the west needs it's oil and doesn't want to offer the Saudi government. The fact of the matter is all human beings are capable of evil with governments committing this evil and and other countries not being prepared to do anything about it.

    There are no words to describe Eva,but a few are brave and passionate. Unfortunately after her son called his mother's public forgiveness to her perpetrators "selfish", I had to shut the video off. Forgiveness is SUCH a personal thing, even if done publicly. She did it for herself and no one else. Who is to judge what is in Eva's heart? Forgiveness is not letting someone "off the hook", it's a healing gift that you give yourself. Dr. Paul Jenkins said that. Eva, wherever you are, blessings to you. Your strength and character are a true example of humanity. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world.

I've been collecting for over 15 years now, and still don't know half of what has been written about it...

    Thank you, Eva. You truly exemplified Teddy Roosevelt's 'Man in the Arena' speech:
    "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
    God bless you, Eva. May your good work outlive you for decades and centuries to come.

    Thank you for this documentary about her life.
    I have PTSD, & I know how it feels to be alone on the planet, struggling with nightmares & pain of trauma.
    I know how valuable a good trauma counsellor is, & how long it takes to process trauma. I see that all survivors of these atrocities needed love, understanding, a safe place to process things, and good trauma counselling. It's sad that everyone struggled on their own to fit back into life after the camps.
    I'm reminded of how Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted. How we need Him💔
    "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will feel no evil because You are with me..." (Psalm 23) In the pain & the grief, & the suicidal thoughts, we need Him to hold us, comfort us, & be unflinchingly with us.

    My holocaust was an abusive husband. No-where near what Eva went through, and I would never even try to pretend that it was. But it did make me into a woman who didn't know how to be a mother, and who was so wrapped up in the trauma that empathy became a distant memory. One of my children has forgiven me. The other hasn't, and that's okay. I am struggling to forgive myself.

It's just being done in different, covert ways. Nothing has actually improved. Some are not covert, but are denied. Part of the human condition? The strongest survive? Is there hope? No.

    I watched Eva story tonight on channel 7 and I want to tell her thank you for being so strong for all the others who we have lost due to death starvation abuse and or sadness in Auschwitz. Because of you sweet lady I give forgiveness to everyone in my life. I'm sorry you were taken from your parents at such an early age. I cannot even imagine my son as a child going through what you and so many other children and adults had gone through. Thank you for your severance and strength to make sure the world doesn't forget. I will never forget you Eva 🌹

    What a marvellous woman, I watched her story on the Holocaust channel. We whinge and whine today and these people whose whole existence was threatened and their loved ones murdered , just bravely got on with life and built new lives from absolutely nothing! What pain they must have carried with think for the rest of their lives. And, through no fault of their own, their own children suffered as well. Rest In Peace Eva, you’re with your beloved parents and sister again. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

    I met a survivor when I was a little kid and I always think about her and just how remarkable anyone who goes through something like this can go on. But goodness Eva is just a true inspiration. To go through that and then come out and share such a horrific experience and get so much push back but still pushing back harder to get her story out there and so many others. Her son saying it was selfish was baffling to me, even other survivors upset I get it I do but she is saying that SHE forgives not every survivor and it was the choice she made that felt right to her. I get wanting to move on and also still being hurt but when you don’t talk about it and just sit with all this hatred you are just hurting yourself more. No one needs to forgive but there is also nothing wrong with her decision to.

I wish people would stop comparing wearing a mask during the pandemic to the Holocaust. It’s insulting and nowhere close to the same thing. I don’t know how many of my distant relatives perished in the Holocaust in Russia and Greece. Eva died within the past few years and I hope she is resting in eternal peace now!

    To forget the past is to allow the past to happen again. My grandfather was a ww2 Soldier in Italy and my grandmother a nurse. Word traveled slow back then. Once Italy knew of the camps they hung Mussolini and turned on the Germans. This meant some Italians including my grandfather were taken prisoner by the Germans near the end of the war. They both survived and came here to Canada in 1950. They didn't talk about it EVER! probably too much trauma.

Mans inhumanity to man is indescribable and the return to savagery is not that far below the surface.
