But Eva's legacy will live on and so will her life-changing message.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEva Mozes Kor was just ten years old when she was sent to Auschwitz. While her parents and two older sisters were murdered there, she and her twin sister Miriam were subjected to medical experiments at the hands of Dr. Joseph Mengele. Later on, when Miriam fell ill due to the long-term effects of the experiments, Eva embarked on a search for their torturers. But what she discovered was the remedy for her troubled soul; she was able to forgive them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold through anecdotes and in response to letters and questions at her public appearances, she imparts a powerful lesson for all survivors that guilt, anger, resentment, and shame are a waste of energy. Forgiveness of our tormentors and ourselves is the end of victimization, a release from pain, and fosters resilience. This kind of forgiveness is not an act of self-denial. It actively releases people from trauma, allowing them to escape from the grip of their former tormentors, cast off the role of victim, and begin the struggle against forgetting in earnest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \"She dedicated herself decades later to telling of the Holocaust horrors spawned by religious and racial hatred, while preaching the power of forgiveness as a means of healing from devastating trauma.\"--Richard Goldstein, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e obituaries, July 7, 2019\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Central Recovery Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949481440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200","brand":"Eva Mozes Kor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38027737825461,"sku":"9781949481440","price":22.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_dbd3b099-93dd-4ef8-981a-b905a6f204b3.jpg?v=1609193643","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-power-of-forgiveness-9781949481440","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
