Review – Forgiving Dr. Mengele

How could anyone – particularly a direct victim of his vile “experiments” – ever possibly forgive Josef Mengele? For the answer to that we must turn to Eva Mozes Kor, the subject of this documentary. Kor and her twin sister somehow managed to survive Auschwitz, but unlike many other survivors she somehow found it in her heart many years later to heal some of the pain by forgiving the Angel of Death and his fellow mass murderers. The resulting consideration of the issues raises – without fully resolving – some fascinating questions about the nature of forgiveness. Worth seeing
