I was going to restore a few family photographs for @EvaMozesKor. Sadly, I did not have the chance to finish the project before she passed away.
Now, after being authorized by the @candlesmuseum, I'm sharing one of them as a tribute.
Please, follow the thread.

This is Eva and Miriam. At 10 years old, they were both subjected to human experimentation under Josef Mengele in Auschwitz.

Additional info: Dr. Hans Munch was a Nazi doctor at Auschwitz who witnessed the selection process and gassing of thousands of innocent people. He was acquitted of war crimes at the Krakow War Crimes Trial in 1947.
He agreed to meet with Eva Kor at his home in 1993, where she videotaped an interview with him. After the meeting, Eva wrote Dr. Munch a letter of forgiveness.
The two met in Auschwitz in 1995, where he signed documentation of the gas chambers.

Eva said:
"On January 27, 1995, we were standing by the ruins of one of the gas chambers. Dr. Münch's document was read and he signed it. I read my Declaration of Amnesty and then signed it. I felt a burden of pain was lifted from my shoulders."

"I was no longer a victim of Auschwitz. I was no longer a prisoner of my tragic past. I was finally free. So I say to everybody: "Forgive your worst enemy. It will heal your soul and set you free."
"The day I forgave the Nazis I forgave my parents because they did not save me from a destiny in Auschwitz and I also forgave myself for hating my parents."
