About the Author

Eva Mozes Kor was a Holocaust survivor and renowned advocate for forgiveness and human rights, born in Romania in 1934 to a Jewish family. At the tender age of nine, she and her identical twin sister Miriam were separated from their parents and deported to Auschwitz, where they endured the horrific experiments conducted by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele on twins. Miraculously surviving the camp's liberation in 1945, Eva immigrated to the United States, where she built a life dedicated to education and remembrance. As co-founder of CANDLES (Children of Auschwitz Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele Twin Survivors), she shared her harrowing experiences to honor victims and promote healing. Her powerful memoir, Surviving the Angel of Death: The True Story of a Mengele Twin in Auschwitz, offers an unflinching account of resilience amid unimaginable atrocity, inspiring generations to confront history's darkest chapters with courage and compassion.
