Holocaust survivor tells of twins experiment by Mengele at Auschwitz Death Camp

from Elkhart Truth event posting (March 21, 2014) Eva Mozes Kor will speak at Grace College Tuesday, March 25, about the horrors or her past, as well as her journey towards forgiving those who killed her family and abused her. CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center's website said Kor and her twin sister, Miriam Mozes, were born in Portz, Romania in 1934. Nazis occupied the town when the girls were 6 years old, and took their family by force when they were 10. Shortly afterward, the family was taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. They arrived there after 70 hours without food or water, the museum's website said. Before she realized it was happening, Kor's father and two older sisters were taken away; then, she and Mozes were taken away from their mother. The girls never saw the rest of their family again, the museum's website said. Like many twins who were taken to concentration camps, the girls were subject to genetic experiments most died from. They were there from their arrival in 1944 until the Auschwitz Death Camp was liberated on January 27, 1945, the Kosciusko County Community Foundation's website said. Kor will speak at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 25, 2014 at the Manahan Orthopaedic Capital Center at Grace College, 610 Wooster Rd. in Winona Lake. Grace College dot-edu said seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis, and 2,500 spots will be available. The event is free. https://www.grace.edu/campus-life/events
