For much of her life, Auschwitz survivor Eva Mozes Kor was filled with hatred for the Nazis who killed her family and subjected her and her sister to grueling medical experiments. In 1995, Kor discovered that forgiving the people who harmed her was a pathway to joy. Kor shares her life story in The Power of Forgiveness, published posthumously in February by Central Recovery Press, to help others cast aside anger and demonstrate how to remember the Holocaust without passing on hate to future generations.

When Kor’s family arrived at Auschwitz in 1944, her mother, father, and two older sisters were presumably sent to the gas chambers. Because Auschwitz physician Dr. Josef Mengele specifically sought out twins for dangerous medical experiments, Kor and twin sister Miriam escaped death.
