What an incredible and a thought-provoking documentary; It really begs the question of what forgiveness really means. A definite must see for anyone interested in learning more about the Holocaust and the role Dr. Mengele played at Auschwitz concentration camp.
This documentary covers the reunion with some of the surviving twins that served as experimental guinea pigs for the infamous Dr. Mengele. The group comes together once again, nearly 50 years later, to discuss how the atrocities they endured during their captivity in Auschwitz impacted their lives after leaving Auschwitz. The idea and the concept of forgiveness is different for everyone and as one of the survivors pointed out, the process of forgiveness can be more about giving oneself permission to make peace with the past and not allowing those painful memories to control one's life in the present. Unfortunately, for many of the survivors, even fifty years after the liberation of the camp, there is still no room for forgiveness in their hearts. A very informative and heartbreaking story that is now a part of recorded history that serves as testament of the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis and Dr. Mengele. Future generations must never forget.
Below is a documentary I found on YouTube entitled "Auschwitz to Forgiveness" and provides a lot of the same information and footage from "Forgiving Dr. Mengele."
