“At Auschwitz dying was so easy. Surviving was a full time job.”
― Eva Mozes Kor, Surviving the Angel of Death: The True Story of a Mengele Twin in Auschwitz

“Anger and hate are seeds that germinate war. Forgiveness is a seed for peace. It is the ultimate act of self-healing.”
― Eva Mozes Kor, Surviving the Angel of Death: The True Story of a Mengele Twin in Auschwitz

“This place was confusing and noisy. People were yelling.
There were screams.
Confusion.
Desperation.
Barking.
Orders.
Crying, crying, crying. The crying of children for parents. The crying of parents for their babies. The crying of people confused and bewildered. The crying of people who saw with certainty that their nightmares had come true. All together the cries resounded with the ultimate and most unimaginable pain of human loss, emotional grief and suffering.”
― Eva Mozes Kor, Surviving the Angel of Death: The True Story of a Mengele Twin in Auschwitz

“Until that moment I had stopped thinking about my family. Maybe it was due to the bread we ate each evening that supposedly contained not only sawdust but a powder called bromide that made us forget memories of home, a sedative of some kind. Whatever it was or was not, I could not feel sorry for myself, for Miriam, for anyone. I could not think of myself as a victim, or I knew I would perish. It was simple. For me, there was no room for any thought except survival.”
