The story of Eva Mozes Kor, a survivor of the Holocaust - Eva was a twin and was subjected to medical experiments by Doctor Josef Mengele. She tells her story and how she was eventually able to forgive him.

Clearly, the presentation will contain some distressing images and information. I have avoided using very graphic images as they are just too distressing. I have uploaded a great number of previews so that you can assess the content and the suitability of the presentation for your students. The PowerPoint is fully editable so can be easily amended to suit the needs of the pupils you teach.

Please note that the watermark on the preview images is not present on the resource itself. The resource can be found in the zip file when you download.
