Kor in 2016 (Oregon State University) |
Her
early experiences as a prisoner
in Auschwitz only served
to strengthen her spirit. Because
she and her sister Miriam
were
twins, they underwent
torturous experiments by Dr. Joseph
Mengele, known as the “Nazi
Angel of Death.”
The
road to forgiveness was long
and hard, but Kor made a
conscious choice to develop that sacred power. She was
eventually able to forgive even
her worst tormentors.
Life
has a way of coming around
full circle. Seventy-five
years after first arriving at
Auschwitz, Kor was leading an
educational remembrance tour just
miles from there. She died yesterday
while fulfilling that mission.
