'Forgiveness is free - it is what our world desperately needs': Holocaust survivor who was taken to death camp aged 10 describes why she hugged her captor the bookkeeper of Auschwitz
Eva Kor (pictured right in main with her twin sister Miriam and top right), now 82, embraced former SS officer Oskar Groening (top and bottom right), 94, in a German court in April before he was found guilty of facilitating the mass murder of 3,000 people. Speaking in a new Channel 4 documentary, to be aired on Saturday night, Mrs Kor said: 'I believe forgiveness is such a powerful thing. It is free. It works. It has no side effects. And this is what our world desperately needs besides punishment.' Mrs Kor and her twin sister Miriam, both Hungarian Jews, were forced to endure horrifying medical experiments at Auschwitz concentration camp by Josef Mengele, known as the 'Angel of Death'.
