Newspapers
of note and the main stream media continue to rehabilitate communism and paint
it in a positive light, spinning its non-existent egalitarian and social
justice qualities, while hiding communism’s death toll of 100 million people.
Somehow
Americans find communism benign even though millions of victims of communism
were tortured and killed in labor camps and in prisons. ANTI-FA thugs pretend
to be fighting against fascists yet employ fascist tactics in trying to snuff
out anybody’s freedom of speech that contradicts their narrative.
When history
is revised to suit the divisive agenda of those driving the narrative, it is
easy to see how a few generations removed from the actual events forget or are simply
never taught what truly happened. That is why videos made with the survivors of
the Holocaust and of the communist jails and labor camps are important in
documenting history.
Eva Moses
Kor is one of the survivors of the incredibly cruel, painful, and inhuman twin “experiments”
which Dr. Joseph Mengele, nicknamed the Angel of Death, conducted in the
Auschwitz concentration camp. These “experiments”
were supposed to discover “how to increase the birthrate of a master Aryan
race.” https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+video+of+Eva+Kor&view=detail&mid=1C17F3B4891D4597EE3F1C17F3B4891D4597EE3F&FORM=VIRE
Eva and her
twin sister Miriam, born in 1934, were taken with their family away from a
small Transylvanian village in Romania in 1944 and shipped by cattle cars to
Auschwitz. Her father, mother, and two older sisters were immediately sent to
the gas chambers.
But the
twins Miriam and Eva were selected for experimentation, exposed to injections
with substances that gravely altered their health and almost killed Eva. On Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays they were kept naked in a room and measured in every
possible way. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, they were taken to a lab, where
blood was drawn from the left arm, while a “minimum of five injections were
given into the right arm.”
Eva came
down with a serious fever, shivering in the melting August heat, with painfully
swollen legs and arms, and huge red blotches all over her body; she could no
longer walk and was not expected to live. After her fever broke, she was taken
to the hospital in another barrack, where “people looked more dead than alive.”
Mengele pronounced that she had two more weeks to live.
But Eva
survived by the Grace of God, crawling on the floor to a water faucet at the
other end of the barrack, falling in and out of consciousness. Once her fever
was completely gone, Eva was reunited with a sullen Miriam, who, while “staring
into space,” refused to talk about what happened and, according to Eva, they
did not discuss it until 1985. The Soviet Army freed Eva and Miriam on January
12, 1945.
Miriam finally
told her sister Eva that she had been under 24-hour Nazi watch while Eva was on
the threshold of death. The Nazi doctors continued to inject Miriam with
various substances which stunted the growth of her kidneys to that of a
ten-year old child. This revelation was discovered during her second pregnancy
in 1963. During her first pregnancy in Israel, Miriam was racked with kidney
infections “that did not respond to any antibiotics,” Eva remembered. By Miriam’s third pregnancy, her kidneys
started to fail and they died in 1987. Eva donated her left kidney to her
sister. Eventually Miriam developed “cancerous
polyps in the bladder” and died on June 6, 1993. The twins never found out what
they had been injected with in Dr. Mengele’s labs.
A Nazi
doctor from Auschwitz named Munch appeared in a 1992 documentary and Eva
searched for him. She invited Dr. Munch to Boston but he declined. Instead, she
traveled in August 1993 to Dr. Munch’s home in Germany. Questions swirled, “You were in Auschwitz, did
you ever go inside the gas chamber? Did you ever walk by a gas chamber? Do you
know how the gas chamber operated?” He answered, “This is a nightmare that I
live with every single day of my life” and described “the operation of the gas
chamber.”
She wanted
him to sign an affidavit that the gas chambers existed, that they were
operational, and how people were gassed. Munch was the gas chamber doctor who looked
through a peephole while the people were being asphyxiated. When there was no
more movement in the mass of humanity, he knew everybody was dead; he signed one
death certificate each time with the number of people inside – no names, no
identifies, just a body count.
Eva asked
Dr. Munch to sign the document at the ruins of Auschwitz on the 50th
anniversary of liberation from the death camp and he agreed. “I will have an
original document signed by a Nazi. And,
if I ever met a revisionist who said the Holocaust didn’t happen, I could take
that document and shove it in their face,” Eva said.
“As a victim
of over 50 years, I never thought that I had any power in my life,” Eva continued.
In a letter to Dr. Munch, which took her four months to write, she actually forgave
Dr. Munch in a document signed in 1995. She was immediately denounced by other
Holocaust survivors for doing so. Eva explained that it was a form of healing
for her; she no longer wanted to be Mengele’s guinea pig of 50 years prior.
Eva wrote
down twenty nastiest words she could find in the English dictionary and then,
as if she was speaking to Dr. Mengele himself, she said, “In spite of that, I
forgive you.” She felt absolved that she, “the little guinea pig of 50 years,
even had the power over the Angel of Death of Auschwitz.”
Eva
described how Munch showed up with his son, daughter, and granddaughter, and
Eva took her son and daughter to the signing of the documents. “I read my declaration
of amnesty which is a very good little document and I signed it. Dr. Munch
signed his document. I felt free, free from Auschwitz, free from Mengele.”
What was the
point of Eva’s forgiveness? “It is an act of self-healing, of self-liberation,
self-empowerment. All victims, all hurt, feel hopeless, fell helpless, and feel
powerless.” She acknowledged that what happened was so horrible and tragic that
it could not be undone, “but we can change how we relate to it.”
We must
never forget what happened to Eva, Miriam, six million victims of the Nazi Holocaust
who did not survive, and 100 million victims of communism who also perished at
the hands of those elites who thought them inferior and disposable.
We should
not discount and ignore the acts of fascistic violence of BLM, ANTIFA, and
other groups who want to stifle the freedom of speech of those they disagree
with and denigrate to the point of hate, otherwise history will repeat itself.
