Forgiving Dr. Mengele (NR)

synopsis

Does a victim of the holocaust have the right to forgive her torturers? Eva Mozes Kor, who survived gruesome experiments undertaken on twins at Auschwitz has made her decision: "When I began to forgive the Nazis, I felt that a burden of pain was lifted from my shoulders." This public declaration has provoked strong opposition, not only among holocaust survivors. American filmmaker, Bob Hercules, accompanied Eva Mozes Kor over many years with his film camera, examining how and why the Auschwitz survivor chose to heal her wounds by forgiving her oppressors.
