Eva Mozes Kor and her family were deported from a Hungarian-held Cehei ghetto in Transylvania Romania to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp on March 1944.

Time at Auschwitz-Birkenau When the family got off the train a German SS officer approached Eva’s mother demanding to know if Eva and Miriam were twins. She said yes. The officer then took the twins and their yells fell upon deaf ears. In her interview with Buzzfeed she says that the last time she saw her mother her arms were stretched out in despair as she was pulled away. Kor says, "I never even got to say goodbye to her. But I didn't really understand that this would be the last time we would see her" The twins spent the next 10 months in this camp until they were rescued. Kor made a documentary, “Forgiving Dr. Mengele,” where she mentions that she was part of two experiments. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday the Nazi doctors would put her and her twin, and many other twins, naked in a room for 6-8 hours and then measure every part of her body, compare the two twins, and then compare it to previous charts. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, the doctors would take Eva to a blood lab and they would tie both of her arms to restrict blood flow, and then take a lot of blood from the left arm and give her a minimum of 5 injections with unknown contents in the right arm. After one of the injections, she became very ill with a very high fever and her legs and arms were swollen and painful, she was trembling as the August sky was burning her skin, she had huge red spots covering her body. One day when she was taken to Dr. Mengele, he checked her fever instead of taking her measurements, she was immediately taken to the hospital, which was just another barrack. Kor says that she has only one clear memory of the two weeks she spent in there, and that is crawling on the barrack floor (no longer able to walk) to reach a faucet with water at the other end of the barrack. As she was crawling she would fade in and out of consciousness, telling herself “I must survive, I must survive.” After those two weeks her fever broke and returned to her sister three weeks later. They were rescued on January 27, 1945 by the Soviet Army
