Survivor of Nazi Experiments Who Forgave Repentant Doctor"This act of forgiveness is an act of self-healing. I believe forgiveness is a modern miracle of medicine." -Eva Kor (Houston, TX)—Eva Kor will never forget the day her childhood ended. The images of that day, and the weeks after, are burned into her memory, as brutally permanent as the tattoo on her left forearm. Now 78 years old, Kor tells this story to groups across the country and the world. She shared her memories with a group of physicians, researchers and other medical professionals at The Methodist Hospital Research Institute on Dec. 5, as part of the conference "Human Subjects Research After the Holocaust." Identical twins Eva and Miriam Mozes were chosen for experimentation by Mengele, who subjected children as young as two to horrific surgeries and injections. "Nothing can prepare a person for a place like Auschwitz," she told the audience. Upon seeing bodies of children sprawled on a bathroom floor, Kor said she pledged to herself to survive any way she could. Even at such a young age, Kor said she and her sister knew they had no choice but to submit to Mengele's experiments if they hoped to survive. They would often sit naked in a room for up to eight hours at a time, as blood was drawn from one arm and unknown substances were injected into the other arm. The rumor spread around the barracks was that if one was taken to the hospital that person never came back. Eva met and married Michael Kor, another Holocaust survivor, and moved to Indiana. Her sister Miriam also married but stayed in Israel. The sisters worked together to organize CANDLES, Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors, to help locate other survivors of Mengele's deadly experiments. Through their efforts, 122 twins living in 10 countries around the world were eventually reconnected. "Alex was diagnosed with advanced cancer that had metastasized to other parts of his body. The treatments he received saved his life," she said. "I am so very grateful that you (the medical community) found a cure for my son." Kor implored all physicians and scientists to remember Mengele's human subjects when they are conducting their own medical research. "Medical science can only benefit mankind when the researchers respect the wishes of their human subjects and treat them with dignity," she said. "Science should be for the sake of mankind, not for the sake of science alone."
