She founded the Children of Auschwitz-Nazi's Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors ( CANDLES ) and was able to locate 122 survivors of the twin experiments . She struggled to clarify the background and consequences of the experiments - so that the victims can be adequately treated. In her book publications, she described her relationship with her father as difficult because he was very strict. But she also thought that this helped her later in Auschwitz. Her willingness to reconcile, documented for example in several appearances with Rainer Höß, the grandson of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höß , or as a joint plaintiff in the Auschwitz trial against Oskar Gröning , earned her substantial criticism from other Holocaust survivors. The filmmakers Bob Hercules and Cheri Pugh followed their work with the camera for several years, resulting in the film Forgiving Dr. Mengele came into being.

Eva and Miriam were given to Josef Mengele for his cruel twin experiments . The sisters were separated for two weeks. Miriam was under constant surveillance by Nazi thugs while Eva received injections. The sisters later found out that if Eva had died from the injections, Miriam would have been killed immediately. Then both bodies would have been autopsied for comparative studies. In the months to come, Miriam fell ill with dysentery and kidney inflammation as a result of the injections she was given. But the two little girls barely survived. When the Red Army approached Auschwitz, most of the concentration camp inmates were sent on so-called death marches . Only the elderly, the sick and children remained. On January 27, 1945 Eva and Miriam were liberated by the Soviets. They came to rest in a monastery in Katowice and then returned to Romania under the care of Mrs. Csengeri. In 1950 the twin sisters moved to Israel and served in the Israeli army . Miriam trained as a nurse, married Yekutiel Zeiger and gave birth to three children, Yaffa, Ariella and Ayala. She had a total of ten grandchildren. Throughout her life she had to struggle with kidney problems due to the experiments in the concentration camp.

The negotiation observer Beate Klarsfeld described his request for forgiveness as exceptional for a Nazi trial: Beate Klarsfeld about Groening's confession on wdr.de. Eva Moses Kor held out her hand to the accused as a gesture of reconciliation. She thanked him expressly because he did not refuse to testify and did not deny the Holocaust, but described it.
