    It is obvious that this man is evil, but he only has shown up twice in the book. He usually leaves to direct the incoming trains. He is a busy man it seems like, but nothing has been said about his medical practices, which leaves me on edge. He is infamous for his monstrosities, but all Nyiszli has said is that Mengele took him out of the group just so he could be a forensic surgeon. While that is generous in some respects, it is not the heartless Mengele that comes to mind. I am not sure if I will see this side of Mengele again when he appears. I am sure Nyiszli will go into more detail about Mengele’s work in the near future, but for now I am left in the dark with the horrors that go on in his exam…

    Like Elie Wiesel said, “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” Elie Wiesel wrote a book about his life during the holocaust. In the book he talks about racism and hatred toward the Jewish religion. This relates to how people are judged at court for their appearance and how they talk or look. People who have a low socioeconomic status are disadvantaged in the criminal justice system especially when examining how they do not have enough money for a good lawyer, they won’t be able to pay off any of their fines and they may or may not have enough money to buy nice clothes for court.…

    Eva Mozes Kor was a twin. Her and her twin were both Auschwitz survivors. The main point in this film is that forgiving someone is good for you. Eva and her twin were separated from their family right as they arrived to the camp. Not only did they have to work, but because they were twins they got sent through several tests and experiments. Eva saw bodies and didn’t let herself think that was going to be her. She refused to let herself or her sister die. She said that if she died through Dr. Mengele’s experiments, then he would win, she didn’t let him. Eva and her twin got injected with something that affected their bodies and made them very ill. After Eva’s injection, Dr. Mengele said she had about two weeks. But that didn’t stop Eva. Towards the end of the two weeks she found herself crawling on the floor searching for some water to drink, telling herself, “Im not going to die.” She didn’t. The war ended and they got saved. Eva felt as if she was more her twins mother than her sister because she was always taking care of her. Later on, Eva’s sister had a serious problem, her kidneys had not grown. They were the same size as a ten year old’s. After there was no more Eva or the doctors could do she passed away. Eva began looking for answers.

    Simon Wiesenthal was born on December 31, 1908 in Buczacz (Lvov Oblast, Ukraine) and died on September 20, 2005. Unfortunately, Wiesenthal’s father was murdered in World War One, which forced him and his family to vacate Lvov Oblast and arrive to Vienna. Simon Wiesenthal graduated from the Gymnasium in 1928, and was ambitious to apply for an admission at Polytechnic Institute, located in Lvov. Due to the discrimination towards Jewish students, his admission was rejected and he attended the Technical University of Prague instead, where he earned a degree in architectural engineering. Later on, in 1936, Simon married Cyla Mueller and worked in an architectural office. Everything went smoothly, until Germany and Russia signed an agreement to share Poland. At this time, the Russian army invaded Lvov and began the Red Purge of the Jewish merchants, factory owners and many other workers. In addition, his stepfather was arrested and eventually died, and his stepbrother was shot. With no options available, Simon Wiesenthal worked as a mechanic in a factory.
