Non-lasting Survival From The Holocaust Twin Experiment

The Mengele twins, Miriam Mozes Kor and Eva Mozes Kor, luckily survived the inhuman experiments from the Holocaust; but only one Genuinely made it. 

Both the twins were separated from their family the moment they landed in Auschwitz in 1944, when they were both only 10 years old. Both survived the deadly genetic experiments conducted my Dr. Josef Mengele. These twins along with many other twins were kept undraped in a room for up to eight hours a day and get their body parts measured. Several blood tests were also performed, following numerous unknown fluids injected into them.

The unknown, yet painful and harmful injections caused Miriam's sister Eva to be extremely unwell and get separated from Miriam. Miriam had been going through continuous and deadly experiments  while Eva was taken to a hospital with people looking more dead than alive. Miriam had been devastated and depressed due to the harsh living conditions. When Eva returned and asked Miriam about why she had been so gloomy, Miriam refused to talk about it.

The sisters gained freedom in 1945, by the soviet army and shifted to Israel. They became members of a kibbutz, populated mostly by orphans. In 1952, they both joined the Israeli Army where Miriam became a nurse. Soon after Miriam got married and was expecting her first child, she developed severe kidney infections, which did not respond to any antibiotics. Her kidneys never fully developed and did not grow larger than a 10-year old's kidney. When Miriam had her third child, her kidney deteriorated and failed in 1987. Eva donated her left kidney, which saved Miriam for the time-being but she soon developed cancerous polyps in her bladder. The doctors Miriam consulted assumed these were the results of the experiments during the holocaust but due to lack in proper information in order to give her the right treatment, she died in 1993.

Both the sisters were brave survivors, but one little more fortunate than the other.

Survival From The Holocaust Twin Experiment

Eva Mozes Kor, Born in 1934 along with her twin sister Miriam.

         Around 1944, From a village in Transylvania, Romania, Eva and her family arrived to a concentration camp in Auschwitz were the surrounding was no less than a gruesome nightmare. People were selected whether to be killed or kept alive.
           As an impotent ten-year old, Eva tried to examine the situation but as far as her scrutiny, there was only a huge tumultuous crowd. She soon notices the absence of her father and her two older siblings; she and her twin Miriam held onto their mom with utmost fear.

A Nazi officer yelled in german "Twins! Twins!", pointing at Eva and Miriam; asking their mother whether they were genuinely twins. Their mother asked the officer whether it a good thing that they are twins, the officer agreed and immidiately separated the twins from their mom. Eva could cry as loud as she could, so did her mother. Very little did Eva and Miriam know that it would be the last time seeing their mother.
The twins were used human experiments. Eva experienced two types of experiments; on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays Eva along with many other twins would be kept undraped in a room for unto eight hours a day, where their body parts would get measured. On alternative days, (Sundays, Tuesdays and Saturdays) they would go through multiple blood tests, following a minimum of five obscure injections. Eva mentions how neither did she know then nor does she know now about what those injections were for.

Those sadistic experiments were performed by Doctor Josef Mengele who was also known as "Angel of Death", in order to discover the method of increasing the birthrate of Aryan master race (people of European and Western Asian heritage).
These experiments inevitably caused Eva to get very ill, her high fever restricted all her movement abilities for a while. She was taken to the hospital where she noticed people who looked more dead than alive to her. The doctors claimed that she would only survive for another two weeks; meanwhile, Eva would encourage herself to survive as she would fade out very often. Fortunately, she survived and soon went back to the laboratory where Miriam was kept. Eva observes Miriam's eerie behavior but does not ask any further questions because her sister did not want to discuss about it.
         Eva and Miriam were liberated by the Soviet army in 1945. After getting married to another concentration camp survivor Michael Kor, Eva suffered several miscarriages and tuberculosis, but she still held onto her remarkable strength. She became the founder of Holocaust museum and education centering Terre haute, Indiana.
         A while after Miriam's death in 1993, Eva decided to forgive Doctor Mengele despite of his cruel deeds as a form of self-healing. Eva realizes how many other human experiment survivors denounced her and she unequivocally understood why, but since she believed she had the power to forgive, she utilized it to get a tribulation off of her chest.
