Alex! I would have known you regardless- and Rina. What's amazing is the response. I've written stories about victims but I've never heard so much about someone like Eva. Some so many people knew her and loved her. They loved how outspoken she was, how honest she could be, and the depth of kindness. Your mother was the best of us and while I may not know the nuance of being her son- I know that her construction to mankind is priceless.
Thank you for this story. Poland is one of those countries where holocaust deniers are unheard of. This is because virtually everyone of the older generation knew someone who died in Auschwitz. My grandmother told me of watching her Jewish friends escorted by Gestapo to the death train. She also knew many non-Jews who died there. It is interesting to read that your protagonist Eva Kor forgave their oppressors. In my article I quote another famous Jewish person, Marek Edelman who survived the Ghetto Uprising. He insisted he had no right to speak on behalf of the dead, because he did not know if they would forgive. And no one could know that.
Thanks Alex! Alex Kor (son of Eva Kor)
