Eva Was A Hero's Journey During Ww2

World War II was a tragic event that affected many people, and countries. Many people that were Jewish were tortured and broken down in horrible ways during this time. WWII consisted of Adolf Hitler gaining power, and taking jews away from their families and taken to death camps. Eva is a holocaust survivor that has told her story about her and her twin sister.
Eva describes her experience as “Hell on Earth.” She did not want to live, but she did not want to die either. Eva says “My diseased organs and Miriam was the control. I spoiled the experiment” (NPR Staff). Many doctors were waiting and expecting Eva to die. She says her experience was unimaginable unbearing (Schwab). Eva and her sister were taken from her parents. She did

They Measured the kids for several hours comparing them to charts. Eva also said she had to give blood supplements every other day (Schwan). The doctors had injected them three times a week. One time after an injection Eva hot terribly sick. The doctors told her she had two weeks to live (“Holocaust Twins Survival Story”). Some of the experiments included being gassed when they got to the death camps. Dr.Mengele would inject needles with chemicals into the eyes of the twins to try and change their eye color. He would do surgical operations without amnesia, Transfusions of blood from one twin to the other, put them in isolation, see how they would react to stimuli, inject the with lethal Bacteria, operate sex changes, and remove limbs from organs (Bulow). Dr, Mengele drugged the children to see the effects. He also poisoned them. He would use one as the test subject, and the other twin as the controlled in the experiments (“Holocaust Twins Survival Story”). Although they did these horrible things to her she forgave

The guard had been tried for 300,000 counts of accessory murder. He used to call her a “dirty Jew” yet she still forgave him (NPR Staff). She forgave the people, because “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.” She even gave a former SS officer known as “bookkeeper of Auschwitz” a hug. She said that forgiving and hugging other officers releases anger and makes her feel good about herself (Stanton). Eva had trouble forgiving one person after WWII. Eva said “If anybody ask me is if I was angry with God, I was angry with everything of God, the world, and everybody” (“Holocaust Twins Survival Story”). As they got older both her and her sister suffered many health problems. Eva herself had tuberculosis, and many miscarriages, and then her son had been diagnosed with cancer. Her sister also had a very rare form of cancer soon after she died in 1993 because of it. Miriam never had fully developed kidneys, because of the experiments, yet they still forgave every single person that hurt them
