Eva Mozes Kor was just ten years old when she arrived in Auschwitz.
While her parents and two older sisters were taken to the gas chambers,
she and her twin, Miriam, were herded into the care of the man known as
the Angel of Death, Dr. Josef Mengele. Subjected to sadistic medical
experiments, she was forced to fight daily for her and her twin's
survival. In this incredible true story written for young adults,
readers learn of a child's endurance and survival in the face of truly
extraordinary evil and Eva's recovery and her controversial but often
misunderstood decision to publicly forgive the Nazis. Readers will learn
of how she triumphed over unfathomable pain and suffering into a
life-long work for peace, human rights, and Holocaust education.
The new edition provides interesting details and important context to
the events related in the original story. A new Afterword by publisher
Peggy Porter Tierney offers a richer portrayal of Eva as a person, the
truth behind the controversies, and the eventful last ten years of her
life.
