I cannot say enough about Mrs Eva Kor. I know her story forward and backwards. She has always been an inspiration to me. She went through the most horrific experiences. She stood up when many didn’t. She started speaking out early. She started Candles museum and brought mass attention again to the escape of Mengele. She ended able to forgive for HERSELF when others were outraged. She was a force in herself. She will forever be missed. May her memory forever be a blessing along with Miriam and their family who perished.
I had the pleasure of meeting Eva Kor at Utah State University in 2013. To hear her story was amazing, but seeing that tiny woman was something else. Her presence filled the room. She was soft spoken (probably because she was not feeling strong that day having traveled a lot) but fiercely captivating. I thank God in Heaven for her 💙
@@LCmonman I too! No I did not meet her but we need fierce love and strong emotion to help us see each other, and not just engage in abstract political games, bless you!
@@annereidy7981 the Holocaust was an appaling atrocity against mankind and and the murder of children is particularly evil. However have things really changed in the modern world . Look up the facts of the number of Palestinian children that have been murdered by the state of Israel . It's absolutely shocking , and disturbing .before people start shouting anti semitism think about it. The murder of children is never justified .
@@Spartan-oj9dc I think you are preaching to the converted! I don't think you have actually taken on board my comment, nor, it appears, understood it. Many holocaust have happened in the world, and that since the second w war too. You are right, violence is never justified, especially when it is used to control and discriminate and dispose of those we fear or merely do not understand. Which is why I applaud this Lady.
@@annereidy7981 you are wrong the comment is legitimate .this is a factual story about how a mother in an incredibly dangerous situation will do anything to protect her child even risking her own life. And that humanity has not improved to stop merciless killing . If the example of Israel is offensive then what about Saudi Arabia and the forced starvation to death of at least 200,000 children in Yemen over the last year .it was mentioned once on CNN snd then no more coverage as the west needs it's oil and doesn't want to offer the Saudi government. The fact of the matter is all human beings are capable of evil with governments committing this evil and and other countries not being prepared to do anything about it.
The aunt was probably in her own type of depression after losing her husband and son. Losing your child changes you. Glad she survived to tell her story so the world would know the horrors that happened at that terrible place.
I am from Terre Haute, Indiana. Eva visited my school and spoke several times upon her experiences. My class visited the CANDLES Holocaust museum various times. She was an incredible woman who taught us the power of justice, peace and forgiveness. She is truly an amazing inspiration of her resilience and her strength.
I think about this often. And it’s why I advocate to preserve historic sites and houses and to designate memorials… I’m terrified that these sadistic and unforgivable acts will be repeated because people are ignorant of history.
There are no words to describe Eva,but a few are brave and passionate. Unfortunately after her son called his mother's public forgiveness to her perpetrators "selfish", I had to shut the video off. Forgiveness is SUCH a personal thing, even if done publicly. She did it for herself and no one else. Who is to judge what is in Eva's heart? Forgiveness is not letting someone "off the hook", it's a healing gift that you give yourself. Dr. Paul Jenkins said that. Eva, wherever you are, blessings to you. Your strength and character are a true example of humanity. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world.
There are no words to describe her not a few are brave & compassionate? While I agree those words describe her well, that first sentence makes no sense whatsoever
I actually live right down the road from the CANDLES museum in Terrehaute and drive by it almost every day. I remember taking a school trip to the museum and listening to Eva speak and tell her story. It was very humbling to hear that amount of detail from a survivor.
Transformation is our choice. Eva made that choice. She evicted the hatred and anger from her heart, and by doing so, made room for joy and happiness to reside there. She is a model human being. Shalom Eva.
What an incredibly strong lady, she is truly amazing and brave. Why nobody would hear her voice is just another reason we as humans should be ashamed she was telling her story and the truth everyone chose to ignore. So sad 😞
Eva Kor spoke at my central Indiana middle school about both her experiences during the holocaust and how it affected her afterwards. It was so devastating hearing her talk about everything that happened to her. But her spirit was amazingly unbreakable. She was small of stature but her spirit filled the room.
I’ll never forget Eva, I always feel a certain way when I watch videos about her. I struggle a lot with my emotions and past traumas, and she’s gives me a glimmer of hope. I wish I could’ve told her thank you when she was alive.
@the best 11 no no she means before thw war and in general. Germans always had that coldness to them. Everything was about discipline. Society was militarized and even family relations worked like armies in the little. That is why the Germans lacked empathy for the Jews in the beginning.
She forgave for her not for them. She decided to live with love and not have hate in heart for the rest of her life. Hate can swallow u whole and you live a very sad angry life. She survived a horrific childhood she deserves to live a happy rest of her life. She is what describes ‘I forgive but I haven’t forgot’
I have a TREMENDOUS amount of respect for all those who survived the holocaust including my oldest sons late great grandma I admired, respected and loved her. I enjoyed hearing about how she and her family survived and the more time I spent with her the more I admired her courage to live through such an atrocity and millions of innocent jews were subjected to unnecessary cruelty, singled out, brutally, slaughtered, ostracized,.treated like garbage etc etc etc etc. My oldest son was the first born grandson and great grandson on both sides of the family I raised my oldest son to be proud of his dad's Hebrew heritage and respect those who managed to survived through this dark chapter in humanity that should've NEVER happened in the first place
Wow, an amazing life story. I have no words to thank her for her witness and testimony. A great woman who triumphed over evil with survival, her voice, her anger and finally her forgiveness and peace.
I met her in 2007 when she was showing my parents a house in Terre Haute. I was 16 at the time and didn't know much of her background. She was very sweet and I wish I would've asked for more of her stories.
I've had the honor of being able to meet several survivors from various camps (no Mengele twins)... the horrors they went through and the way they now speak about them and about hope and forgiveness is truly humbling... in my country a lot of those stories have been written down and I've made it my personal mission to read and own every single book... I've been collecting for over 15 years now, and still don't know half of what has been written about it... I did not know about Eva's story until stumbling across this documentary, but I have already told my family that I want her books to read next time they give me a book...
@@CourtWallace the ones by Eva you can see in the documentary... the ones in my language are only for sale here and there are no English translations to them so I doubt whether you can read them...
Not sure if you’ll ever be in Indiana in the US, but she has a wonderful museum called CANDLES. They have a hologram of her there to immortalize her and her story.
When I was in middle school we took a trip to hear her speak, at the time I don’t think I really processed what she was speaking on but I do remember she carried this warmth with her and was very kind.
I've seen her lectures and this is a side I didn't know. There are still a few survivors & them telling their stories, giving us firsthand accounts of what happened serve as a reminder that these atrocities happened less than 100 years ago. That it's not impossible for history to repeat itself and that it's up to us to do better & be better for one another.
Thank you, Eva. You truly exemplified Teddy Roosevelt's 'Man in the Arena' speech: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." God bless you, Eva. May your good work outlive you for decades and centuries to come.
Her book was very interesting because it gives you an understanding of what Auschwitz was like from a child's perspective. I can't imagine that horror for an adult, let alone a child, and being experimented on also.
Interestingly enough Eva lived and raised a family in Indiana and would take a yearly educational trip to Auschwitz. It was on her last one of these trips in which she died. I flew out of Indiana to Krakow on a trip that I had planned about a year in advance, arriving just about a week after her death. Quite the timing.
I was privileged to meet Eva in June of 2012 at her Candles Museum. She was an amazing woman! So thankful for the opportunity to hear her of her experiences through her own lips. The world has much to learn from her example of acceptance and forgiveness. RIP Eva! ❤️🌹
Eva was a beautiful person. Thank you for this documentary about her life. I have PTSD, & I know how it feels to be alone on the planet, struggling with nightmares & pain of trauma. I know how valuable a good trauma counsellor is, & how long it takes to process trauma. I see that all survivors of these atrocities needed love, understanding, a safe place to process things, and good trauma counselling. It's sad that everyone struggled on their own to fit back into life after the camps. I'm reminded of how Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted. How we need Him💔 "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will feel no evil because You are with me..." (Psalm 23) In the pain & the grief, & the suicidal thoughts, we need Him to hold us, comfort us, & be unflinchingly with us. Love to all on this thread, from Melbourne Australia 🇭🇲❤️🙏🇮🇱❤️🙏🇺🇸❤️🙏🇬🇧❤️🙏
@ Caroline - Your comment shows lots of love (for Eva and for us readers) did you know that to express love is a testament to great healing! Congratulations!
I met this lady as a child when she was telling and teaching around the USA in the 80s and 90s. I remember her voice and story. It made a huge impression on me. An amazing woman
How dare they question a victim’s decision to forgive? Did they go through what she did? Even if other victims decided not to forgive, no one has the right to judge her or them. It’s so annoying who are you if you haven’t walked in her shoes
I agree. Hatred is a strong emotion very much akin to love. Those monsters did not deserve a thought if that is what any Holocaust victim decided. Forgiveness can free you, if you are able to do it.
My heart bleeds for these individuals. I'm so happy Eva and her sister survived but I can't imagine the courage she had to come forward and speak out like she did. May she rest in peace with her family ❤️
Thank you for showing me how forgiving really brings me peace inside. Thank you for speaking the truth and for being such a strong individual. Thank you for helping to set me free Eva.
My holocaust was an abusive husband. No-where near what Eva went through, and I would never even try to pretend that it was. But it did make me into a woman who didn't know how to be a mother, and who was so wrapped up in the trauma that empathy became a distant memory. One of my children has forgiven me. The other hasn't, and that's okay. I am struggling to forgive myself.
I never knew that she lived in Terre Haute. I have always really admired this woman. I have driven through Terre Haute probably 500 times and I never heard about her living there. I've studied her a bit as well, I'm not sure how I missed that. She was an amazing woman.
Wow what a journey!!! Thank you for your courage and your steadfastness!!! Don’t stop the world needs to remember what happened the past doesn’t need to be forgotten!!!
If I could hug Eva I would. She was a better person than me. I am not Jewish and I wasnt born until the fifties but forgiveness to the Nazi's is not on my agenda. I'm a bit lost for words but it really makes one think on Christmas Eve. Merri Christmas to all regardless of religion or religious believe and peace be with you.
@@wilhelm4321 OH little Willey, your mob showed their true colours before you were probably born. You just proved that Germany should never be trusted.
@@306champion I read my great uncles and great grandfather's letters that they sent home. Their are always two sides to every story and you have one gotten the western version of events.
Eva has earned the right to be selfish in this!! Eva is an amazing survivor!!! Eva can do whatever she wants and handle her own feelings anyway she wants whether it be anger grief or forgiveness and whoever judges her needs to handle their own feelings!!
Wow. What a strong lady. I don’t blame her for being angry about what happened to her. It’s unfortunate that it took so long for her to gain the respect she deserved all along.
I watched Eva story tonight on channel 7 and I want to tell her thank you for being so strong for all the others who we have lost due to death starvation abuse and or sadness in Auschwitz. Because of you sweet lady I give forgiveness to everyone in my life. I'm sorry you were taken from your parents at such an early age. I cannot even imagine my son as a child going through what you and so many other children and adults had gone through. Thank you for your severance and strength to make sure the world doesn't forget. I will never forget you Eva 🌹
I listen to a lot of documentaries about the holocaust and WWII at work because I am very interested in these stories. But man, watching them and seeing all of the pictures and faces of the victims is so much harder.
Not only as a a fellow romanian but as a fellow human, thank you Eva! For your kind soul, for teaching so many forgiveness for being such a light in the dark. May your name be always remembered! ❤️❤️❤️
This brought tears to my heart, it shows how predujust can ruin a race of people, it shows the cruelity of man against man. This lovely, and extremely brave lady must be listened to. Eva is our history, and we must listen!!!!!! Greetings from Canada
So sad. No one (leaders) have learned an inch of humanity from this. History is repeating itself every minute of every day, here, globally, in year 2021. It's just being done in different, covert ways. Nothing has actually improved. Some are not covert, but are denied. Part of the human condition? The strongest survive? Is there hope? No.
What an amazing woman! Her huge contribution made a difference to the grudge that I was harboring! I was able to let it go, she made forgiveness make sense! Thank you, Eva❤️
I met a survivor when I was a little kid and I always think about her and just how remarkable anyone who goes through something like this can go on. But goodness Eva is just a true inspiration. To go through that and then come out and share such a horrific experience and get so much push back but still pushing back harder to get her story out there and so many others. Her son saying it was selfish was baffling to me, even other survivors upset I get it I do but she is saying that SHE forgives not every survivor and it was the choice she made that felt right to her. I get wanting to move on and also still being hurt but when you don’t talk about it and just sit with all this hatred you are just hurting yourself more. No one needs to forgive but there is also nothing wrong with her decision to.
Sad When I was in Germany in '74 I had the I don't know the word but I did go to Dachau concentration camp I missed the Olympics and there was another sad thing that year but the concentration camp was unbelievably moving.
What a marvellous woman, I watched her story on the Holocaust channel. We whinge and whine today and these people whose whole existence was threatened and their loved ones murdered , just bravely got on with life and built new lives from absolutely nothing! What pain they must have carried with think for the rest of their lives. And, through no fault of their own, their own children suffered as well. Rest In Peace Eva, you’re with your beloved parents and sister again. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
This needs to be seen as many young people haven’t got a clue of these awful atrocities and the sad thing is the world has learnt nothing of this evil it’s still happening in different countries around the world
I saw her story on the Holocaust channel. So unbelievably atrocious what happened not only to her and her dear twin but to them all. Innocent people one and all. Mans inhumanity to man is indescribable and the return to savagery is not that far below the surface. As is attested by how many of what you would normally call sane, cultured, orderly people who descended into barbarity. G- D all those who tried to help. 🙏🙏🙏👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
God willing this will never happen again. Between what the Nazi’s and the Japanese did during WW2 was truly horrific. I wish people would stop comparing wearing a mask during the pandemic to the Holocaust. It’s insulting and nowhere close to the same thing. I don’t know how many of my distant relatives perished in the Holocaust in Russia and Greece. Eva died within the past few years and I hope she is resting in eternal peace now!
To forget the past is to allow the past to happen again. My grandfather was a ww2 Soldier in Italy and my grandmother a nurse. Word traveled slow back then. Once Italy knew of the camps they hung Mussolini and turned on the Germans. This meant some Italians including my grandfather were taken prisoner by the Germans near the end of the war. They both survived and came here to Canada in 1950. They didn't talk about it EVER! probably too much trauma.
Amazing woman and story I stumbled across , nothing short of an incredible victory for this tenacious soul! I’m in awe of her and her accomplishments to continue teaching us all to free ourselves by forgiving..I agreed with her, it’s for us, for our health and to turn our pain into ❤️🩹 healing. Thank you Eva for never giving up against truly all odds!!🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇♥️♥️♥️🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆
Yes she’s forgiven the atrocities that happened to her and her family, which is great for her own mental health. However she is part of the reason we all understand more of this tragedy today so I’m so grateful for her!

What an incredibly strong lady, she is truly amazing and brave. Why nobody would hear her voice is just another reason we as humans should be ashamed she was telling her story and the truth everyone chose to ignore. So sad 😞

Excellent expose and bringing Ms. Kor to more people through your TIMELINE: Thank You
Rest in Peace Eva......it was a lot of fight....but you did it- and never gave up......
How did she pass away?😟
I met this lady as a child when she was telling and teaching around the USA in the 80s and 90s. I remember her voice and story. It made a huge impression on me. An amazing woman
Hello how are you doing?
I admire Mrs Mozes Kor. Forgiveness frees you from pain inside
Amazing documentary! Thank you Eva and thank you Timeline!
How dare they question a victim’s decision to forgive? Did they go through what she did? Even if other victims decided not to forgive, no one has the right to judge her or them. It’s so annoying who are you if you haven’t walked in her shoes
I agree. Hatred is a strong emotion very much akin to love. Those monsters did not deserve a thought if that is what any Holocaust victim decided. Forgiveness can free you, if you are able to do it.
Boom. Hugs. Xx
Thank you so much for making this film. What a divinely beautiful soul.
My heart bleeds for these individuals. I'm so happy Eva and her sister survived but I can't imagine the courage she had to come forward and speak out like she did. May she rest in peace with her family ❤️
I need to watch things like this every now and then because it makes me grateful for my life.
Bless you Eva, for showing us that nothing and no one is unforgivable.
Thank you for showing me how forgiving really brings me peace inside. Thank you for speaking the truth and for being such a strong individual. Thank you for helping to set me free Eva.
Kids today have no idea how lucky they are. I have no idea how to comprehend the pain and trauma thus must if had on that generation.
My holocaust was an abusive husband. No-where near what Eva went through, and I would never even try to pretend that it was. But it did make me into a woman who didn't know how to be a mother, and who was so wrapped up in the trauma that empathy became a distant memory. One of my children has forgiven me. The other hasn't, and that's okay. I am struggling to forgive myself.
You are worthy of forgiveness. I hope you are able to see that.
Honestly if these sick people are being forgiven you’ve done nothing in comparison I’m getting….
I'm sorry for what you've been through, but your comment is not appropriate in this context.
@@shaindyhorowitz3783 Yeah…kinda caught me off guard too.
Wow what a gross comment!
I heard her speak many years ago. It blessed my heart and soul.
An amazing human being. Who won the war on this earth? Eva Mozes Kor….that’s who! God will bless you, ma’am! ❤️🇮🇱😔🇺🇸
I never knew that she lived in Terre Haute. I have always really admired this woman. I have driven through Terre Haute probably 500 times and I never heard about her living there. I've studied her a bit as well, I'm not sure how I missed that. She was an amazing woman.
Thank you Eva for teaching us about the life saving miracle of forgiveness.
You can see the pain in her eyes!
Wow what a journey!!! Thank you for your courage and your steadfastness!!! Don’t stop the world needs to remember what happened the past doesn’t need to be forgotten!!!
Age is just a number... she's became more and more powerful each time she grew older...thank u for your unimaginable love wise woman ❤️
A year ago today Eva stepped into her eternal reward. God Bless you, Eva. Your lesson on forgiveness will heal the world. ❤️
If I could hug Eva I would. She was a better person than me. I am not Jewish and I wasnt born until the fifties but forgiveness to the Nazi's is not on my agenda.
I'm a bit lost for words but it really makes one think on Christmas Eve. Merri Christmas to all regardless of religion or religious believe and peace be with you.
Another person who falls for allied propaganda 🙄 😒

OH little Willey, your mob showed their true colours before you were probably born.
You just proved that Germany should never be trusted.
@@306champion I read my great uncles and great grandfather's letters that they sent home. Their are always two sides to every story and you have one gotten the western version of events.
Eva has earned the right to be selfish in this!! Eva is an amazing survivor!!! Eva can do whatever she wants and handle her own feelings anyway she wants whether it be anger grief or forgiveness and whoever judges her needs to handle their own feelings!!
Forgiveness is Freedom, Peace.Healing and Joy..This woman is AMAZING ♥️⭐️♥️⭐️♥️
Wow. What a strong lady. I don’t blame her for being angry about what happened to her. It’s unfortunate that it took so long for her to gain the respect she deserved all along.
To say this had me in tears is an understatement 😭
Like my grandmother said....bad times don't last forever....never give up..🇮🇱🙏
I watched Eva story tonight on channel 7 and I want to tell her thank you for being so strong for all the others who we have lost due to death starvation abuse and or sadness in Auschwitz. Because of you sweet lady I give forgiveness to everyone in my life. I'm sorry you were taken from your parents at such an early age. I cannot even imagine my son as a child going through what you and so many other children and adults had gone through. Thank you for your severance and strength to make sure the world doesn't forget. I will never forget you Eva 🌹
I listen to a lot of documentaries about the holocaust and WWII at work because I am very interested in these stories. But man, watching them and seeing all of the pictures and faces of the victims is so much harder.
And the skelatal bodies thrown in ditches. I'm horrified everytime. I can't.
What a powerful story. I'm glad I found this page and this very special video of this amazing woman. RIP Eva THANK you for ALL YOU DID
Excellent video! Strong girls to have survived that horror. My heart breaks for her and her family, I am glad that she found some pêacë!
Not only as a a fellow romanian but as a fellow human, thank you Eva! For your kind soul, for teaching so many forgiveness for being such a light in the dark. May your name be always remembered! ❤️❤️❤️
This brought tears to my heart, it shows how predujust can ruin a race of people, it shows the cruelity of man against man. This lovely, and extremely brave lady must be listened to. Eva is our history, and we must listen!!!!!!
Greetings from Canada
So sad. No one (leaders) have learned an inch of humanity from this. History is repeating itself every minute of every day, here, globally, in year 2021. It's just being done in different, covert ways. Nothing has actually improved. Some are not covert, but are denied. Part of the human condition? The strongest survive? Is there hope? No.
What an amazing woman! Her huge contribution made a difference to the grudge that I was harboring! I was able to let it go, she made forgiveness make sense! Thank you, Eva❤️
I met a survivor when I was a little kid and I always think about her and just how remarkable anyone who goes through something like this can go on. But goodness Eva is just a true inspiration. To go through that and then come out and share such a horrific experience and get so much push back but still pushing back harder to get her story out there and so many others. Her son saying it was selfish was baffling to me, even other survivors upset I get it I do but she is saying that SHE forgives not every survivor and it was the choice she made that felt right to her. I get wanting to move on and also still being hurt but when you don’t talk about it and just sit with all this hatred you are just hurting yourself more. No one needs to forgive but there is also nothing wrong with her decision to.
What an amazing, resilient, perseverant person she was.
What a Beautiful person. Thank You !
We cannot afford to lose history. Forgive does not mean forget. Forgive means accept the past,accept the transgression, and move forward.
We must never forget or we are doomed to a repeat of history either now and/or in the future!
Sad
When I was in Germany in '74 I had the I don't know the word but I did go to Dachau concentration camp I missed the Olympics and there was another sad thing that year but the concentration camp was unbelievably moving.
Being half of a twin myself I cried when I heard this story. There but for the grace of God…….Great woman this Eva.
What a marvellous woman, I watched her story on the Holocaust channel. We whinge and whine today and these people whose whole existence was threatened and their loved ones murdered , just bravely got on with life and built new lives from absolutely nothing! What pain they must have carried with think for the rest of their lives. And, through no fault of their own, their own children suffered as well. Rest In Peace Eva, you’re with your beloved parents and sister again. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
*Time-Line World History-Eva Kor- Documantries appreciate your videos Listening from Mass USA TYVM 💙 Eva,*
This needs to be seen as many young people haven’t got a clue of these awful atrocities and the sad thing is the world has learnt nothing of this evil it’s still happening in different countries around the world
Thanks matey merry Christmas and Happy New year to you
Thanks guys stay safe and well I hope you both enjoyed your Christmas I hope you both have a great new year I love you guys bruv
I admire this woman's strength and attitude. If no one will listen, make them.
And she did! When she was knocked down she didn't cry and give up. She stood back up and kept fighting ❤️
I saw her story on the Holocaust channel. So unbelievably atrocious what happened not only to her and her dear twin but to them all. Innocent people one and all. Mans inhumanity to man is indescribable and the return to savagery is not that far below the surface. As is attested by how many of what you would normally call sane, cultured, orderly people who descended into barbarity. G- D all those who tried to help. 🙏🙏🙏👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Love this Y.T channel. Thanks great VID...........
Hello Ms. Nairn. Best teacher. Took class to candles
I just saw this Ron...
I'm so chocked up.....ty for telling this story.....
Her book/story is an incredible reading experience. I wish every parent would make their young 12yr-17r year old kids read this over the summer.
God willing this will never happen again. Between what the Nazi’s and the Japanese did during WW2 was truly horrific. I wish people would stop comparing wearing a mask during the pandemic to the Holocaust. It’s insulting and nowhere close to the same thing. I don’t know how many of my distant relatives perished in the Holocaust in Russia and Greece. Eva died within the past few years and I hope she is resting in eternal peace now!
And what the soviets did.
And what the Americans did to Japanese-Americans.
@@lindseyitamoto And the treatment of POW’s by the British
The people who were or are in a war are stronger than I could ever be ❤
Really interesting documentary, thanks
I’m educating myself and all I have to say is what a badass!!! Such a inspiration
I didn't know that she went through all of that. A very good documentary. Precious woman.
Just remarkable! Thank you!
To forget the past is to allow the past to happen again. My grandfather was a ww2 Soldier in Italy and my grandmother a nurse. Word traveled slow back then. Once Italy knew of the camps they hung Mussolini and turned on the Germans. This meant some Italians including my grandfather were taken prisoner by the Germans near the end of the war. They both survived and came here to Canada in 1950. They didn't talk about it EVER! probably too much trauma.
forgiveness is for yourself but NEVER to forget is for the world
What an amazing person, I'm so inspired by her.
When you don't find your destiny but keep searching and achieve something. Inspiring.
A very interesting video. The first two minutes just gave me goosebumps. 😢
Amazing woman and story I stumbled across , nothing short of an incredible victory for this tenacious soul! I’m in awe of her and her accomplishments to continue teaching us all to free ourselves by forgiving..I agreed with her, it’s for us, for our health and to turn our pain into ❤️🩹 healing. Thank you Eva for never giving up against truly all odds!!🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇♥️♥️♥️🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆
Yes she’s forgiven the atrocities that happened to her and her family, which is great for her own mental health. However she is part of the reason we all understand more of this tragedy today so I’m so grateful for her!
Me too! ❤️
