Eva Mozes Kor (January 31, 1934 – July 4, 2019) was a Romanian-born American survivor of the Holocaust. Along with her twin sister Miriam, Kor was subjected to human experimentation under the direction of Nazi German Schutzstaffel (SS) officer and physician Josef Mengele at the Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland during World War II. Her parents and two older sisters were killed in the gas chambers at Birkenau. Kor founded the organization CANDLES (an acronym for "Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors") in 1984 with an aim to educate the public about eugenics, the Holocaust, and the power of forgiveness. CANDLES successfully located 122 other survivors of Mengele's experiments. Read more on Wikipedia
